It just keeps getting more and more insane--now Syrian "rebel" training will take at least 12 months. ISIS has wiped out the border between Syria and Iraq in just a short time and this training program, that will take 3 or 4 months to implement, will take an initial $500,000.
"We think if we can restore the border, it goes a long way to beginning
to put the kind of pressure on ISIL that will lead to its ultimate
defeat," Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said, using a
common acronym for the group that U.S. intelligence officials estimate
has up to 31,000 fighters." Military.com
We can't even secure our own borders in the United States. Now we're going to "screen" certain "allied" candidates in Syria for competence and loyalty and restore the border? How in the heck do we do that? I put these words in quotes as no one really knows if these "rebels" are friend or foe or if a friend now, will remain so. Here is some background on some Syrian rebels.
History tells us that no clean end comes to wars conducted like this.
