TRUMP ENDS CIA PROGRAM ARMING ‘SYRIAN REBELS’

The covert CIA program training and arming Syrian rebels to fight the government of Bashar al-Assad has been ended by President Trump, U.S. officials tell the Washington Post.

The decision to phase out the Obama-era program was reportedly made by Trump during a White House meeting last month with CIA Director Mike Pompeo and national security adviser H.R. McMaster.

“Officials said the phasing out of the secret program reflects Trump’s interest in finding ways to work with Russia, which saw the anti-Assad program as an assault on its interests,” the Post states. “The shuttering of the program is also an acknowledgment of Washington’s limited leverage and desire to remove Assad from power.”

After all it was McCain who so strongly advocated arming Syrian rebels and ISIS and all the other wars he so loves to support.

Even Trump said McCain never saw a war he didn't love.

Right here...

All three of the dirty traitors went over there and helped arm the "rebels" who later morphed into ISIS and who knows what else?

The 3 dirty traitors did it to appease the weapons makers who in turn gave them campaign money to keep them in office.

So that they can keep voting for wars and interventions.

Which enriches the weapons makers etc...

See the cycle?
