I have been bitching about how stupid the plan was that has been proposed by the likes of McCain and Graham…..the plan is the one that would train “moderate” rebels to fight in Syria……the first two graduated classes were a joke at best…..the first lost all but 4 of its original members in days after returning to Syria….and the second class did not fight when they returned they simply gave their weapons to others and went home, whatever is left of their home…..
So what will be the future of this most unimpressive solution to the fight against Assad and ISIS?
I am so glad you asked……
The United States is dropping a $500 million Pentagon program to train Syrian rebels fighting the administration of President Bashar al-Assad, the New York Times reported on Oct. 9, citing unidentified Obama administration officials.
The newspaper said Pentagon officials were expected to announce the end of the program on Oct. 9.
Finally, someone has shown that they are capable of rational logical thinking……
Now I wait for the next great plan for Syria…..
Maybe they read all the criticism on In Saner Thought……yeah….let’s go with that answer!
Yeah let’s go with your theory but Chuq, I’m afraid stupid never really goes out of style. dru
Sad isn’t it? It is if we cultivate stupid…..chuq
With all the manure being thrown around, how can we help but cultivate it?
True….and as usual the manure hit the fan…..
We have already seen what “Training” fighters in Syria and elsewhere has resulted in — wasted millions of dollars …. and a lot of bright, shiny new vehicles and weapons abandoned at the first sound of a gun.”
and now they have suspended the program…..go figure…..
