Still true today.
Looks like it is back to goat herding and smuggling....
One way the press is dishonest is by omission. It sure would be nice to know how much of the training and arms to “friendly rebels” in Syria ended up with ISIS. Besides which, the US is operating in a sovereign nation which never showed hostility to the US without the permission of Syria. Those details never make it into “news” stories.
Until the support is stopped ON THE GROUND; the support of the Syrian Islamists CONTINUES. Statements that support is ending are EMPTY WORDS; the Deep State continues to undermine the West.
“If these reports are true, the administration is playing right into the hands of Vladimir Putin,” John McCain, the Republican chairman of the Senate armed services committee, countered. “Making any concession to Russia, absent a broader strategy for Syria, is irresponsible and short-sighted,” he said.
You have to feel for the rebels. First they take a hit when their best wholesale arms customer, ISIS, starts running out out of money and now the U.S. stops giving them those arms for free.
If you’re a Syrian Rebel how are you supposed to make a living?
The CIA should not be running foreign armys, especially Jihadi ones.
Syria is a damn mess.
Every Arab terrorist organization is involved.
Turkey, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Qatar......all messing around in Syria.
There is one country in the region that doesn’t have bloody internal fighting.
Israel.
Let’s give Syria to Israel since the Arabs just want to kill each other.
It’s not that covert if we all know about it.
Still true today.
If I were Assad, I would be diabolical and declare peace. I would deed the rebel controlled areas over to the Palestinians so they could have their own country. Let the rebels and all of their supporters have fun with that.
