Made a mistake and posted the next paragraph twice. The next posted paragraph should be:
The reported kidnapping is likely to be a new blow to the troubled American program, which in its first year has trained only about 60 fighters, according to an American official — all of them apparently from Mr. Hassan’s group. If it turns out that all seven of Mr. Hassan’s kidnapped comrades were trainees, then there will be only 47 fighters left in Syria from the Pentagon’s training program.
“Captured”?
Or defected to ISIS?
Reports say 8 men were also with him.
Sounds like a set up. Check kerry’s emails.
How many Syrians trained by the US switched over to ISIS??
expect a gruesome death video of these brave men, if they were bona fide

You never know about anything over there.
Great Britain:
“According to the poll conducted for the newspaper by ORB, 67 per cent of the public support air strikes against ISIS in Syria and Iraq, while 33 per cent oppose the proposal.” -Same webpage above.
67%, I don’t know if we’d get that here. That sounds pretty good and we don’t have the Muslim population as a percentage as well in the USA.
Optimistically, I’d say we’d get, 60%.
