Syrian rebel Yarmouk Brigades ditch US and Israel allies, defect to ISIS

Syrian rebel Yarmouk Brigades ditch US and Israel allies,
defect to ISIS

The Syrian rebel militia Al Yarmouk Shuhada Brigades, backed and trained
for two years by US officers, mostly CIA experts, in Jordan, and supported
by the Israeli army, has abruptly dumped these sponsors and joined up
with the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, debkafile’s exclusive military
and counter-terrorism sources reveal.

The sudden defection of this 2,000-strong anti-Assad force leaves IDF defense
formations on the Golan, US and Jordanian deployments in the northern part
of the kingdom, and pro-Western rebel conquests in southern Syria
in danger of collapse.

The Brigades’ jump into the radical jihadi camp was negotiated in the last two weeks
by its commander Mousab Ali Qarfan, who also goes by the name of Mousab Zaytouneh.
He was in direct contact with ISIS chief Abu Baqr Al-Baghdadi, whom our sources report
has recently relocated from Iraq to his northern Syrian headquarters at al-Raqqa.

The involvement of the US in wars around the world from Ukraine to the IS thing to the plan to keep over 10-thousand in Afghanistan after the ‘war is ending’ is something that makes the Obama left-wing base unhappy.

Cuba is a diversionary sop to them to make them happy
and it will trigger GOP response and a media generated debate on cable news that people will eat up and forget about Obama’s continued use of military resources around the world in ways lefties don’t like.

Because Cuba gets over 60% of their oil from Venezuela and Venezuela’s economy is foundering.

There is only one person on this earth I despise as much as Obama and that’s McCain. God forgive me for voting for that traitor.

I have one sentence for Israeli establishment: Destroy Mullahs' regime in Iran, no excuses and am really sick of tit for tat garbage.

Israeli response: We can't do it cuz we don't have the capability. The U.S. has to help, needs to do it, etc...

But Israeli government(s) apparently has/have had the capability to support the Khomeinist regime as far back as Iran-Iraq war against Saddam. Don't ask for evidence because those Israelis I'm talking about know already.

Unfortunately, they have two more years before ISIS and Iran get our Cruz missiles.

Frankly I’d more worried about ISIS getting Cruz missiles. Iranian regime is very selective, ISIS won’t be. And there are many more of ISIS than Iranian Islamists - and I know for sure most of those “Iranian Islamists” are not under Iranian Mullahs’ control.

Aren’t these the guys who are currently receiving hundreds of millions in cash and weapons from Obama and McCain??? One could almost wonder if it wasn’t planned that way...

Senator McSane, isn’t. It has nothing to do with age.

Sort of makes you wonder if the function of the CIA is to destabilize countries, start wars and nurture chaos.
