“At the heart of the high-stakes U.S. program to train and equip Syrian rebels to fight ISIS”

A lot of propaganda in that statement. The rebels are not going after their ISIS allies. They are being armed by us to go after Assad. And ISIS will waltz in an take over as soon as that happens.

The U.S. violated its own policy and gave Purple Shovel approval to acquire millions of dollars’ worth of high-tech missiles for the rebels from Belarus, a dictatorship that is under sanctions by the European Union. Belarus, which has supplied weapons to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime and is accused of human rights violations, is normally off-limits to U.S. arms dealers. But the U.S. military and State Department agreed to make an exception, allowing 700 powerful anti-tank missiles to be purchased, with U.S. taxpayer funds, for the rebels.

Those went to ISIS.

I believe when it is all over we will find out that Obama was arming ISIS from their beginning. He was planning on using them to take down Assad. He couldn’t control them once he armed them.
