CIA-coordinated military aid for rebels in northwest Syria has been frozen since they came under major Islamist attack last month, rebel sources said, raising doubts about foreign support key to their war against President Bashar al-Assad.

Rebel officials said that no official explanation had been given for the move this month following the jihadist assault, though several said they believed the main objective was to prevent arms and cash falling into Islamist militant hands. But they said they expected the aid freeze to be temporary.

The halt in assistance, which has included salaries, training, ammunition and in some cases guided anti-tank missiles, is a response to jihadist attacks and has nothing to do with U.S. President Donald Trump replacing Barack Obama in January, two U.S. officials familiar with the CIA-led program said.



Yeah sure it has nothing to do with TRUMP coming in

As shitty as it sounds, we probably need to be giving that money to Assad.

Oh, we are to this extent not doing Israel's bidding against our own best interest? That is refreshing.

In our 'cloud cuckoo land' existence, has anyone else noticed how happy Israel is when we take in boat loads and plane loads of Syrians?

What is going on is so fricking bizarre it almost defies quantification. Why the frick is the welfare of our country subordinated to what is best for the fricking Jewish State?

Or we could just pocket that shite and let the Russians apply the pressure needed to help Assad crush the rebels. It's coming if we just get out of the way.

Good! We had no business arming them in the first place. Syria was thriving and was fine. Now it's completely destroyed, the people are homeless, and isis has spread. Hillary and Obama are corrupt war thugs

The Israeli policy seems clear. Destabilize and wreck all its neighbors. And we are helping them. shite, we even wrecked Libya for them which isn't even a neighbor.







And the Dark State is pulling out all the stops to attack Mr. Trump because he won't help them sufficiently.

I hope and pray he can stand up to them and stop United States' sponsored terror in the world.
