MOSCOW -- Russian jets carried out a second day of strikes in Syria Thursday, as a senior U.S. politician and activists claimed the targets included rebels backed by the United States.
"I can absolutely confirm to you that they were strikes against our Free Syrian Army recruits that have been armed and trained by the CIA, because we have communications with people there," Republican Sen. John McCain, who is head of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said in an interview with CNN, according to the Reuters news agency.

Assad helped what would become ISIS long ago: http://www.heritage.org/research/commentary/2004/10/syria-s-trouble
Yeah, Rand Paul was certainly an idiot for repeating that fable.
US armed rebels = ISIS.
The US opposes Assad because he is allied with Russia, controls key NG pipelines, and is not a member of the IMF.
You’re quite right. Thanks for noticing.
The “Free Syrian Army” is a regiment in ISIS, and their existence has been one of the back-door conduits to supply and support ISIS.
The FSA was compromised a long time ago. Just like the Sunni Iraqi army troops. Cut and run, giving up to ISIS immediately.
Still doesn’t keep your head from decorating a pike if ISIS catches you.
The Muslim Brotherhood is EVERYWHERE. Including the White, er, “Rainbow” Hut. And the campaign of Herself, Madame Benghazi, the Cold & Joyless.

Stopped reading right there, NOTHING this dirt bag liar says is the truth, he just got back from the Ukrainian a couple of weeks ago...wonder what was so important to take him away for poor Linda Graham....who cried the whole time he was gone.....
Like that line in Carlito’s Way,
“The streets, they are watching” after he decided not to kill some drug dealer punk and let him live.
Putin sends his regards to McCain.
Would that be the US-armed rebels who were passing their weapons on to ISIS?
Russia needs ISIS around in order to justify their self-serving, expansionist actions in the Middle East.
Misleading title
“Should say “ Russia applauded for bombing illegal CIA supported foreign Islamist mercenaries inserted into Syria to overthrow sovereign secular government of Syria “
Or something like that
Yes, these are Obama's pretend moderate Muslims who are just a few more in the stew of radical Islamic terrorists that are throughout Syria and beyond. They are part of the Obama facilitated Greater Caliphate terrorist army.
Gosh, the FSA was having their morning Madison /Jefferson discussion group when the dastardly Russians bombed them.
McCain should rush to the scene and remain there with the FSA. Like a human shield! Go Johnny!
All 14 of them?
We've been a major player in fomenting this utter disaster in the Middle East. The Christian persecution in Syria and Iraq is due in the first instance to our foolish invasion of Iraq and in the second instance by our arming of Islamic revolutionaries which sprang up as the result of the power vacuum created by our attempt to export democracy to these countries.
Time to realize that it's no longer 1962, folks. The war that many of you are still fighting ended almost 30 years ago and the tables have been turned.
America's principal contibutions to the human endeavor now consist of the promotion of homosexual "marriage", birth control and the cleansing of Christians from their ancient homelands.
The atheistic Soviets fought the mujahadin in Afghanistan 35 years ago and suffered a terrible humiliation. This time, a resurgent Christian Russia will, with God's blessing, rout these Islamic barbarians.
Putin says intelligence reports indicate that only Islamic State was hit. :-)
