Russia is deliberately targeting US-backed rebel forces in Syria.
150 CIA-backed Syrian rebels have been killed by Russian airstrikes. FOX News reported:
Moscow is “deliberately targeting” U.S.-backed forces in Syria as part of a military campaign that has killed up to 150 U.S.-trained rebels, a U.S. official told Fox News.
The claim comes as the U.S. and Russian militaries try to reach an agreement about flight safety in the skies over Syria. Officials from both countries are holding their third videoconference on the issue Wednesday, as U.S.-led coalition and Russian aircraft look to avoid collisions as they launch airstrikes into Syria.
But even as they try to “de-conflict,” evidence is mounting that Russia’s air campaign is targeting more than just the Islamic State.
“Putin is deliberately targeting our forces,” a U.S. official, who is disappointed in the U.S. response to Russia, told Fox News.
“Our guys are fighting for their lives,” said the official, estimating up to 150 CIA-trained moderate rebels have been killed by the Russians.
The Obama administration recently ended its troubled program to train select Syrian rebels, but has continued to equip the opposition.

“The Obama administration recently ended its troubled program to train select Syrian rebels, but has continued to equip the opposition.”
Sounds like Russia is in mop up mode before the push against ISIS is to begin.
Putin is making a fool out of Hussein.
I’m having spaghetti for dinner.
They are all ISIS over there. Kill them all. The USA has no business there.
There is no such thing as “our” forces in Syria. They belong to Obama, not the Republic.
They are not “our forces”.
So Obama got into a hot war with Russia and the media is no where to be found
Obama’s forces, fer sure.
There weren’t even 150 rebels trained. 54 graduated. The first 5 out on a mission were captured within minutes. The other 49 red with their shiny new weapons.
Spagetti spagetti ?
I just hope none of our people were there. The rest, let Allah sort it out.
Dorkbama the Muslim supported them.
Ergo, they should be killed.
Russia has done that.
What is the problem?
150 sure sounded like a round number. Given that there was only 4 or five fighters left before Russia got involved, it seems like we are being lied to. Why?
I hope the Russians kill very one last one of Obama’s Boys.
Down is up, up is down, sin is a virtue, virtue is a vice, lies are truth and truth is sedition in our brave new world.
Whoa.
I know what you’re thinking.
We had 150 dudes available to kill?
Good. Welcome to the snackbar islam filth.
if he gets rid of all the rebels, then it’s just ISIS and no country can support ISIS taking Syria.
It’s a good plan by Russia.
