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.

I just find it so convenient that we have a mass shooting today to to take focus off Obama’s incompetence. It is sad, but I definitely respect Putin more than I do Obama. No telling what perversions Obama has been up to in Syria. Hopefully Putin will make the world a safer place for Christians.

John McCain, who is head of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said in an interview with CNN, according to the Reuters news agency.

It's the same Free Syrian Army recruits that Obama put in Egypt to overthrow Mubarak (our ally) and the same Free Syrian Army Obama put in Libya to overthrow Gadaffi (another turned U.S. ally) which gave up 400+ shoulder fired missiles to the Syrian 'Free Syrian Army' which they haven't fired yet...

Free Syrian Army, Isis...Muzlim Brotherhood...No difference...

Putin pressing while we have still have a Shiite allied faggot in the White House.

All hell is going to break loose because President VACATION GOLF HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE/MILITARY GUY sits in the WH due to Universal suffrage and the women vote and sends his DISGUSTING AND EVIL SPOKESMAN “JOSH EARNEST” out to lie everyday and spout NONSENSE like “DECONFLICT”.

An effin communist Jew retard bum from VERMONT via NYC is tied with the DEMON SHRILLARY CLINTON for the CPUSA/DEMOCRAT party nomination in the polls.

From now until January 2017, all bets are off.

Our enemies are green lighted.

Senator McCain certainly has shut-up since Trump slapped him around. Somebody should have done that years ago. He must be up for re-election ... let me googles ... yes - what a surprise he must be practicing his conservatism. I think he’ll be surprised to find how sophisticated the voters have/are these daze.

The “senior U.S. politician” making the claim was John McCain.

That means there is a 99% chance that the Russians are NOT bombing rebels backed by the United States.

“Two years ago those “rebels backed by the United States” included ISIS. The current crop is no better and certainly worse than Assad. Looks to me like Russia is just taking out the trash.”

I agree! Let Putin do what Obama should have done years ago. And let the cowardly queer bastard stay in hiding under his bed.

The same guys who said they will behead people because of this!!!

They’re all as bad as each other and Russia should deal with it.

I heard the pansy in chief today saying Russia bombing ISIS will only make ISIS stronger.
Then what the hell have we been dropping bombs on then in all this time?

***”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.
And just how reliable are McCain’s sources in Syria and just how reliable is McCain? What a mess. The report might or might not be true, but with so many factions in that areas with so many different agendas, it’s anyone’s guess.***

***U.S. General Lloyd Austin, the head of the U.S. military’s Central Command, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that at the current, slower-than-expected pace, the initial training targets were unrealistic.

Asked how many fighters were still in Syria, Austin said: “It’s a small number. The ones that are in the fight ... we’re talking four or five.”***

This General was before the Armed Services Committee 9/16/15. McCain was present and bemoaned the abject failure of the program. Now he’s talking like we have all these forces over there on our side. He is a bald faced, pos liar. Putin is bombing terrorists. It doesn’t matter if we were stupid enough or complicent in giving them weapons and training, they defected or returned back to their terrorists groups. And for so called Conservatives to be lying about this is just mind blowing to me. Why are so many people itching to go to war with Russia?

Nah, they are simply moderate Sunnis who are supporting the ISIS cause. That 500 million dollars sentto minor religious figures of the Sunna in Syria is now well salted away in Swiss Bank accounts.

Pooty supports the Shia, and he will be destroying all the Sunni in Syria.....both ISIS and the Politically Correct ( by Obama Standards) so called “Freedom Fighters.

Then its on to Mecca, as the Iranians turn themselves loose to invade Suadi itself from Iraq and Yemen, using Russian ordnance.

McCain is almost as nuts as the POTUS. McCain seems to also be approaching senile dementia, if not already there.

U.S. Armed Rebels = ISIS

There are no “moderate” Rebels despite what the propagandist and liars in the media tell you. They are all savages primarily known as ISIS, formerly known as the FSA (Free Syrian Army), formerly known as Al-Qaeda and finally formerly known as the Mujahideen.

ISIS or ISIL (as the Administration likes to say for some odd reason) are a Saudi Arabian Proxy army. They are kind of like the French Foreign Legion for France. They were inserted into Syria after Saudi Arabia could not get a gas pipeline deal with Assad of Syria.
