US spent $500m training only 'four or five' Syrian 'rebels'
A multi-partisan activist group established to expose and resist US imperialism, corpora-terrorism, and the New World Order
US spent $500m training only 'four or five' Syrian 'rebels' | 16 Sept 2015 | A programme to train Syrian moderate rebels [aka terrorists] to 'take on' Islamic State (Isis) [aka I-CIA-SIS] costing $500m (£320m) has resulted in only “four or five” soldiers being successfully deployed, the top US military commander overseeing the conflict testified. The strategy was central to US plans to retake territory controlled by the jihadist group in Syria, with the Pentagon announcing plans to train an army of more than 5,000 moderate rebels to take on IS on the ground in late 2014. “The programme is much smaller than we hoped,” conceded the Pentagon's policy chief, Christine Wormuth, before the Senate Armed Services Committee on 16 September. [LOL! Not really. It's *exactly* what was 'hoped for,' so I-CIA-SIS could explode in growth and more money would be 'needed' to 'fight' them. And on Halloween evening - a Saturday night, no less - the nut-jobs at the US State Department announce that the US is going to spend *$100 million more* on the moderate Syrian 'rebels' who either cut and run or join I-CIA-SIS. See how this works? Anything so Congress can pretend to be outraged over the deficit while TPPimp Obama and his GOPig allies slash Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. --LRP]
