US-trained rebels gave their weapons to al-Qaeda immediately on entering Syria
Jihad Watch ^ | 9/22/15 | Robert Spencer

The Obama Administration repeatedly assured us that they were working with “vetted moderates” in Syria. Obviously they have no idea how actually to do such vetting, or were never sincere about attempting to do so in the first place.

“US-trained Division 30 rebels ‘betrayed US and hand weapons over to al-Qaeda’s affiliate in Syria,'” by Nabih Bulos, Telegraph, September 22, 2015:

Pentagon-trained rebels in Syria are reported to have betrayed their American backers and handed their weapons over to al-Qaeda in Syria immediately after re-entering the country.

Fighters with Division 30, the “moderate” rebel division favoured by the United States, surrendered to the al-Qaeda-affiliated Jabhat al-Nusra, a raft of sources claimed on Monday night.

Division 30 was the first faction whose fighters graduated from a US-led training programme in Turkey which aims to forge a force on the ground in Syria to fight against Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (Isil).

A statement on Twitter by a man calling himself Abu Fahd al-Tunisi, a member of al-Qaeda’s local affiliate Jabhat al-Nusra, read: “A strong slap for America… the new group from Division 30 that entered yesterday hands over all of its weapons to Jabhat al-Nusra after being granted safe passage.

“They handed over a very large amount of ammunition and medium weaponry and a number of pick-ups.”

Abu Khattab al-Maqdisi, who also purports to be a Jabhat al-Nusra member, added that Division 30’s commander, Anas Ibrahim Obaid,had explained to Jabhat al-Nusra’s leaders that he had tricked the coalition because he needed weapons.

“He promised to issue a statement… repudiating Division 30, the coalition, and those who trained him,” he tweeted. “And he also gave a large amount of weapons to Jabhat al-Nusra.”…

Any intelligent force would have GPS and recording devices for such trained islamos. Upon discovery of treachery, you light them up. Big time. We can not be that stupid to let this happen.

We betray those who ally with us sowhy on earth would any moderate side with us knowing that he’s going to be betrayed? Much safer to kiss up to the violent strongmen than to fight alongside a nation that’s turning its once proud military into a gay playground and is led by a retreat artist.

That is exactly Obama’s “excuse”....
“I didn’t arm Al Quaeda... The rebels we trained so very and armed so very well were actually traitors...We did not know this...We will be more careful NEXT time...”

He knew beforehand exactly what was gonna happen and he willingly gave arms to Al Quaeda using this as an alibi...

What a traitorous POS....

I think it was only about 200 million and we have six trained jihadis. Great Obama deal.
