About 123 U.S. soldiers arrived in Turkey to train moderate Syrian rebels, bringing with them weapons which are being transferred to İncirlik Airbase in the southern province of Adana, Hurriyet Daily News reported Friday.
The daily said 83 of the U.S. soldiers were deployed at İncirlik Airbase and 40 others were transferred to the Hirfanlı base in the Central Anatolian province of Kırşehir.
Citing unnamed sources, the newspaper said that Syrians who will be trained at Hirfanlı are expected to be transferred to the southern province of Hatay where they will briefed on the use of arms, including anti-tank weapons, infantry rifles and machine guns, before travelling to Syria to join the fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
At İncirlik, a special group of U.S. personnel has also been tasked with equipping Syrians.
The U.S. was able to use Incirlik after intense negotiations between Ankara and Washington.
Turkey was long criticized for being reluctant to allow combat operations against ISIS to be staged from Turkish territory.
Don’t trust Turkey, they who watched the Kurdish slaughter with a front seat view.
Also funded 100 million buck mosque with obummer promising to attend opening.
tooey!
The “rebels” ARE al Qaeda.
America is now supporting the terrorists that murdered
3000 Americans during the 911 Atrocity, under the
Islamic thumb of the Obama and his docile GOP.
Sickening. That an American Soldier should be ordered to commit such an atrocity.
Next time it happens, if it’s a blue city, I won’t care much. I guess I will, but should I?
100th anniversary of WWI.
40th anniversary of Saigon.
Is this a joke?
Uh..why are we training al-qeada?
More of our soldiers being sent to the slaughter.
Training another of our enemies again. Same for arming them. That’s part of what Benghazi was about. And so Obama continues to build the largest and most powerful islamonazi empire or Caliphate he can.
Yep. The so called moderates, if their really were any, would get rolled by ISIS. But their are no moderates, only AG/IS who want our weapons and training.
Buy ammo.
The thoroughly vetted, moderate Syrian rebels. I ain’t believing it until Juan and Lindsey gave their seal of approval.
Oh good....I smell another success story just like Yemen.
I’m going to try and be an optimist. I know thus far the Obama regime has only trained and armed enemies of the United States. Perhaps this July Operation Jade Helm will be an exercise to train and arm United States citizens against those who would do our families and this nation harm. Perhaps just maybe those special operations troops who will be practicing in the rural and urban areas of primarily conservative states, will be handing out and briefing our citizens “on the use of arms, including anti-tank weapons, infantry rifles and machine guns” to use against threats to the United States. Hey, nothing wrong with dreaming. The O regime gives these this training and arms to our sworn enemies, why not U.S. Citizens...
Just hand us the trophy. We are the #1 most stupid country in the world.
