Is this the Obama Administration’s version of the Bay of Pigs?
Shocking new revelations prove that Obama’s plan to train foreign anti-ISIS fighters in Syria has become a total disaster. And U.S. weapons may have ended up in terror group Al-Qaeda’s hands.
The administration has been struggling to explain its military strategy to “destroy and degrade” ISIS with an air campaign and its poorly executed programs to train, assist, and equip local moderate forces.
Obama initially promised to train 5,000 anti-ISIS fighters in Syria when he asked Congress to approve $500 million in supplies and training. Officials said last week that fewer than 200 are going through training now.
After the first 54 fighters were sent in to fight in July, they quickly dispersed or were defeated. Asked how many remain active on their initial mission, Gen. Lloyd Austin told the Senate Armed Services Committee last week, “It’s a small number. … We’re talking four or five.”
And recent supports suggest that one of the U.S. trained fighters immediately took money and weapons provided by the American government to a local Al-Qaeda affiliate.
These stunning developments came at the same time defense officials scrambled separately to respond to allegations that they skewed intelligence assessments to give a rosier picture of conditions on the battlefield.

Obama is serving the cruel Saudis, he not want to defeat the Isis because he is protecting and helping the Isis, Obama is the devil himself, he wants all the ‘Europe and America subservient to Muslim Arabs. Only Putin is defending the Western world, Obama should be tried for crimes against humanity. It is a being repulsive
DockyWocky says
Lupaccio has al-Obama nailed, although a little light in the details. But I do agree that he’s a pawn of the Saudis, and probably Saudi money has been behind his miraculous rise to the top in Yankee-Doodle land in spite of a distorted history.
Just about every political hack in DC is also a Saudi-paid lackey. But that is for another discussion.
Lupaccio says
Not only that, the ‘former Spanish Prime Minister Zapatero recently said Obama organized a met with several European leaders to oust Berlusconi from the Italian government and put in its place puppet governments, (in fact, in Italy there have been three governments that nobody elected) this is a very serious, Obama is a bandit if he did this …. and the US Congress should prosecute him and ask for his impeachment. Obama is very dangerous for the world, it must be stopped !!
Again…., it is not surprising that Merkel has shown such hospitality to thousands and thousands of Muslims only a few days before the Volkswagen scandal, there was a blackmail of the Obama administration ??
P.S. Lupaccio means “bad wolf”

Come on this is no Bay of Pigs. This is odumbo supporting and training our enemies to kill us. He knows exactly what he is doing. I wouldn’t be surprised if the majority of the so called refugees (invaders) that he is pushing to get into America are mostly these trained and paid terrorist of odumbo.

Our nation will be lucky if it is able to survive President Obama’s reign of error.
This guy is doing all he can to take the “worst president ever” title from Jimmy Carter.

He seems to be building a resume for his next job….Secretary-General of the UN. If you think he did damage to the USA now…..imagine when he becomes King of the planet. It won’t be pretty!
Joe sans says
500 million tax payer dollars to train 200 anti-Isis fighters? Obama said 5000 fighters.oops, His mistake! Whattayamean, only 4 or 5 still active?.? You mean to say we trained and armed 200 and they “Bergdorfed it” to the other side?.. Took training and weapons to our enemies? Hmm, sounds like a plan to me. Who authorized this? Any forthcoming congressional investigation? Yeah, right!

The “Secret Team” has been in control of the USA since 1960. “The Secret Team: The CIA and Its Allies in Control of the United States and the World,” by L. Fletcher Prouty, former USAF colonel explains how the CIA gained control of the USMilitary and organized a secret army. The CIA incorporated the Israeli Mossad during the reign of George H. W. Bush, when Ronald Reagan was the official President. Bush´s appointee to Chief of CIA, revealed the truth in his first general assembly after officially taking the office. “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.” William Casey, CIA Director, from first staff meeting in 1981. Bush used the CIA to initiate a cocaine smuggling enterprise under the guise of the “Iran-Contra” debauchery. The “missing chapter” of the Reagan-Bush administrations reveals the subterfuge of the Bush family and the CIA. Bush Sr. organized the Carlyle Group with the Saudi-Arabian bin Laden family, which, with input from Tel Aviv controls the CIA-MOSSAD. http://www.globalresearch.ca/cia-media-disinformation-and-us-proxy-wars-fallouts-of-iran-contras-lost-chapter/5326764

CIA whistle-blowers, and retired intelligence operatives state that Barack H. Obama is an operative (spy) from Saudi-Arabia that was placed to continue the destruction of the USA that was begun by the 1947 law that legalized the CIA. The CIA was legalized with a “black budget” that the USCongress did not control, a serious violation of the USConstitution. Money from that black budget, that is included in the annual US appropriation, the NDAA, was used to fund the training of leaders of ISIS and continues to be used to fund ISIS.
