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.
All pallets successfully were recovered by friendly forces, a U.S. official said.

And Russia is bombing the “rebels.” War with Russia by proxy?
Obama - you don’t know what you’re doing!
nah , they all look alike ....
If you ever wondered what it would be like to have the most powerful military in the history of the world under the command of an air headed idiot who is also a foreign agent just watch what is happening with the US military led by Barack Obama.
These days we hand out boxes labels CAIR.
I'm sure that they only delivered safer bullets and safer hand grenades. All persons who will use these weapons have passed stringent background checks and have been properly evaluated by mental health officials, and none of them have tested positive for having controlled substances in their systems. I am very confident about this! :)
So let me get this straight, Obama sends 50 tons of ammo to a bunch of Jihadi wannabes yet he wants to take away OUR guns..maybe if Americans screams Allah Akbar we would be able to keep our guns too
Just let Assad win and the whole mess will be done with. Instead they’re just ensuring more and more chaos in the ME!
Probably where all the ammo went that Obama’s agencies were buying up.
Ammunition that will be used to immediately kill Christians in the Middle East, and eventually to kill US citizens in the Continental United States.
‘safer bullets..’
The ammo was green tip .223 SS109.
Oops, never mind. (steel penetrator)
At least we now know what the US is doing with the billions of rounds they’ve been buying for the last couple of years.
We have chosen the wrong side. We are the wrong side.
Not only are we fools; we are wicked, intentional fools.
Green tipped ammo shows advanced environmental consciousness. I’m so proud!
“Probably Manpads to blow Ivan out of the sky”
They could never be used on airliners, or even Air Force 1.
Since we didn't bomb Saudi Arabia, the answer is yes.
We sit by and watch this imposter who controls OUR country arm our enemies. What the F is wrong with us? We need to arrest this treasonist bastard and the rest of the cretans
It provides advanced, passive ventilation.
The Obama Plan
Hey, this is also the Republican plan. Every heard of McCain, Graham and Carly?
You got it. ;-)
We sit by and watch this imposter who controls OUR country arm our enemies.
Name a single Republican in Congress who is protesting. This is their policy, too.
