CNN)U.S. military cargo planes gave 50 tons of ammunition to rebel groups overnight in northern Syria, using an air drop of 112 pallets as the first step in the Obama Administration's urgent effort to find new ways to support those groups.

Details of the air mission over Syria were confirmed by a U.S. official not authorized to speak publicly because the details have not yet been formally announced.

C-17s, accompanied by fighter escort aircraft, dropped small arms ammunition and other items like hand grenades in Hasakah province in northern Syria to a coalition of rebels groups vetted by the US, known as the Syrian Arab Coalition.

Yea!These people were vetted before they received the airdrop.Just how did they manage that?

Are they getting these so called freedom fighters like their going to get these refugees that will soon be pouring in here?If so we’re in serious trouble.

Wonder who got the sales commission for the sale? Probably sold with a “after expiration date” or “seconds” or”blemishes”.

Barack Obama, for perhaps the first time in his life, is not going to have his own way in Syria. The Russians and the Chinese - the latter have ground troops en-route as I write this - will ensure it.

It's going to be very interesting to watch how he responds...

Putin is a devout Christian, believe it or not. Compare his policy on gays with the west (source). Compare his putting up Vladimir the Great, holding a huge cross, next to the Kremlin as a testimony to Russia's Christian heritage vs. our tearing down the Ten Commandments (source). Consider what he says and does and tell me if this sounds more like someone who wishes to return to atheistic communism or a Nebuchadnezzar of our time.

I do believe he misses the days of Soviet dominance from a nationalistic standpoint, but I see him returning to that as White Russia rather than Red Russia. Their nation is primed for divine blessing.

I guess all those folks he’s had murdered and assassinated over the years for speaking out against him makes him a great Christian. Who knew thats all it takes to be a devout Christian.

My god some of the putinistas are truly easily brainwashed soft skulled useful idiots.
