Before Leaving WH Obama Bombs CIA-Vetted Syrian Rebels Embedded with Al-Qaeda
2017-01-22
[PJ] If one event can symbolize the incoherence of the Obama administration's support for the so-called "vetted moderate" rebels in Syria, it would be one of Obama's last acts in his last full day in office.

On Friday the Pentagon reported that they had struck a terror training camp near Idlib, killing more than one hundred Al-Qaeda terrorists.

The wrinkle is that several members of a group that had previously been backed by the CIA and received TOW missiles as part of an Obama administration program--and were at the camp and embedded with Al-Qaeda--were also killed.

Brennan and Champ are all finished with them now. No sense leaving the 'hit men' standing, and what's do be done with all of that gear. Dead men tell no tales, and all of that.
