Clashes between militias trained by the CIA and the Pentagon are intensifying as bitter fighting has broken out near Aleppo and the Turkish border.
Chicago Tribune:
The fighting has intensified over the past two months, as CIA-armed units and Pentagon-armed ones have repeatedly shot at each other as they have maneuvered through contested territory on the northern outskirts of Aleppo, U.S. officials and rebel leaders have confirmed.
In mid-February, a CIA-armed militia called Fursan al Haq, or Knights of Righteousness, was run out of the town of Marea, about 20 miles north of Aleppo, by Pentagon-backed Syrian Democratic Forces moving in from Kurdish-controlled areas to the east.
"Any faction that attacks us, regardless from where it gets its support, we will fight it," said Maj. Fares Bayoush, a leader of Fursan al Haq.
Rebel fighters described similar clashes in the town of Azaz, a key transit point for fighters and supplies between Aleppo and the Turkish border, and March 3 in the Aleppo neighborhood of Sheikh Maqsud.
The attacks come amid continued heavy fighting in Syria and illustrate the difficulty facing U.S. efforts to coordinate among dozens of armed groups that are trying to overthrow the government of President Bashar Assad, fight the Islamic State militant group and battle one another all at the same time.
"It is an enormous challenge," said Rep. Adam Schiff of California, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, who described the clashes between U.S.-supported groups as "a fairly new phenomenon."
If anything demonstrates the incompetence, futility, and danger of the president's policiy in Syria, it's this almost comic clash between fighters trained by two separate wings of our national security apparatus.

I believe the same thing happened in Libya..
Same thing happened in Vietnam. That is all I can say.
Either way it’s increasing the chaos and death in the middle east. That chaos is Obama real goal.
That’s what happens when there is no central strategy - no leadership.
Pitiful!!
And everybody gets a share.

America runs an empire. One side doesn’t know what the other is doing.
Just the norm with the U S schizophrenic foreign policy. Wait. Wait.
The U S doesn’t have foreign policy.
We have a Foreign reaction.
Nuke them all.
God will know his own.
I wonder what the American embedded assets in these "rebel" groups think of this.
Corrected:
The U S doesn’t have foreign policy.
We have Foreign CHAOS.
You are right. THAT looks more like it.
Proving , once again , that we are "leading from behind"
or rather ,
There is NO LEADERSHIP coming out of the 'smartest guy in the room' , since he listens to no one , nor his selected bureau heads,
he just listens to the small voices in his head .
If he could just get his head out of his butt, he wouldn't hear the echos of agreement with his reactive foreign policies,
but, .. his ego prevents that !!
Are US govt agencies so confused as they seem to be? What pathetic “leadership”.
“That chaos is Obama real goal.”
Obama has no control over this. He has no control, he’s a meat puppet that’s all. I truly believe he doesn’t have the intellect to influence affairs and seriously doubt his educational achievements as well as Michelle’s. These people are a scam.
Please note;
I was corrected on my phraseology (or whatever)
The correct phrase is:
The U S doesn’t have foreign policy.
We have Foreign Chaos.
Thank you MarvinStinson

Either way it’s increasing the chaos and death in the middle east. That chaos is Obama real goal.
