Epic fail: Obama ends $500 million training program for anti-ISIS rebels
2015-10-10
The $500 million Pentagon program to train "secular" anti-ISIS rebels, which was supposed to be the cornerstone of our policy in Syria has been terminated.

To say that our policy in Syria now is in "disarray" is incorrect. In truth, we have no policy in Syria except aimlessly bombing a few vehicles and buildings every day.

Meanwhile, the administration is bragging that Russia's intervention in Syria is a sign of our "success."
The man is whacked.
Refund? Oh, the money is already gone? Well, where did it go? Please tell me what $500 million USD ACTUALLY DID BUY !

Any actual field result is accidental.
