Last week, unconfirmed reports emerged about CIA-trained rebel factions planning to attack the Syrian capital city of Damascus. Nothing has come of it yet, but President Obama suggests that may be about to change.
According to those familiar with the closed-door meetings with hawkish senators, President Obama reportedly informed them that CIA-trained cells of fighters have infiltrated into Syria from neighboring Jordan and are preparing to make themselves heard on the front lines.
The comments were intended in particular to placate Sen. John McCain (R – AZ), who has criticized the current war plan for not specifically involving regime change, by arguing that the rebels will do that on their own.
The US has made much of its “training camp” in Jordan, and previous reports have suggested Israeli commandos have been involved in the operation as well, preparing “moderate” rebel factions to attack Syria in an attempt to convince the world that they remain a viable faction in a rebellion now overwhelmingly dominated by al-Qaeda.
…so instead of butchering you and nibbling, due to PR concerns, the new crop of disciplined terrorists let most of you go to waste…
Change (by Bill Clinton) and Hope (by Obama) are two main platform by US Democratic Party, questions that people are asking, change for what and where, hope for what and for who. Thus far we all know that Oil companies are getting paid by the USA government which is a CHANGE for them profit more, and Saudis tyrannic regimes hand in hand with Israel HOPING for a much larger political and economic influence in middle east.
The Syrians must be fools not to know how the yanks operate.
I did read somewhere that about 30,000 trained terrorists were dispatched by the CIA/Prince Bandar bin Sultan from Jordan into Syria and that about three quarters of them were already dead. If this is true, you have to wonder if the CIA/Prince Bandar bin Sultan are playing a double game – recruiting the meanest Salafists then sending off just to be killed by the Syrians to weaken the Salafist movement (if it can be called one).
The rebels are on the run that's why they resort to using chemical weapons,even Panetta admitted that some of these chemical weapons may have fallen into the hands of rebels.You won't hear the media quoting Pannetta on this.
Factions, cadres, phalanxes. Nefarious shadow men with furtive glances, and walkie talkies are in there ? By Jove ! I feel safer already ! Freedom is in the march, and in the lurch !
These men are trained to head for the chemical weapon stores.
Wikileaks emails show Special Forces teams have been training rebels since at least September 2011.
Obama here is trying to give the impression that we are just now getting involved. He's full of shit.
