Reports citing senior administration officials say President Obama is planning to announce direct training of Syrian rebels in the coming days, saying it would focus on “moderate” factions and aimed at stemming the power of al-Qaeda’s factions in the rebellion.
The US has already been organizing major training operations in Jordan and Qatar for the rebels, and the CIA has reportedly played a key role in the training.
A new PBS documentary on the training operation in Qatar is also bringing added focus to the policy as it already exists, with trainees saying they were being taught “how to finish off soldiers still alive after an ambush.”
The US has already poured hundreds of millions of dollars into training and arming the “moderate” factions, but they are increasingly irrelevant across Syria, as al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) and the Islamic Front dominate the north, and Jabhat al-Nusra, another al-Qaeda faction, controls most of the southern front.
Surely, some member of the House will respond by introducing articles of impeachment.
some member as in a GOPer
In another word, there must be a better Al-Queada then what is out there, we can call them ” moderate” Al-Queda. Later I think they are going to do the same about Boko Haram, there must be a “moderate” boko haram out there which they can start training as well.
The Islamization of the world can only be achieved if a “better” and a “moderate” ones are trained by USG, and off course the costs of training paid by the working American tax payers while Saudis and UAE rise the oil price and oil companies double profit from Obama’s and Joe Biden and Biden politics.
They are probably the same US military or mercenary maggots who killed or encouraged the killing of wounded resistance fighters and civilians in eastern Ukraine.
The Obama 'School of the Americas' is accepting applications for its next
class of murders, thugs, and wannabe despots. Syrian (rebels) and foreign
fighters must register for classes at the Near East campus.
Disclaimer to students: There is no guarantee the USG wont snuff you out
if it decides you're no longer of use to the empire.
God bless america
Every day that I read the news it feels like I'm reading Animal Farm
When the government starts down the slippery slope of torture and permanent imprisonment then finishing off wounded after a battle is part-and-parcel of the decline into savagery. The world will judge them…someday.
"Finishing off" the wounded is hardly the sign of a "moderate" opposition. The USG continues to manage the perception of their proxy forces in Syria in a desperate attempt to portray them as something other than bloodthirsty killers.
Obama has no conscience, accessory to mass murder?
Great. Al Qaeda is looking forward to be trained.
The enemy of my enemy will also be my enemy
The more enemies, the merrier. the longer the wars, the greater the windfall for the weapons mobsters and their co-conspirators in DC.
announcing to announce is an announcement
We trained and armed Muslim radicals like Osama bin Laden – how did that turn out for US?
