In an admission the Obama administration program run by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to fund, train and arm so-called “moderate Syrians” to fight dictator Bashir al-Assad and ISIS was a dismal failure, President Donald Trump ordered the CIA to shut the program down on Thursday.
One of the key, original backers of the program was Arizona Senator John McCain, who from his sick bed issued a tweet stating his displeasure with the Trump decision.
The Syrian rebel program began with great fanfare as a counter measure to ISIS and a way for so-called Syrian rebels to take on the Syrian army in civil war against the Assad regime.
McCain made several trips to the region to meet with “rebel” leaders. Much to the Obama administration’s embarrassment, later on, one of those leaders was identified as Aku Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of ISIS. Other meeting attendees included leaders of the Al-Nusra Front, Al Qaeda’s proxy in Syria.
Find out exactly how McCain chided President Trump and how his tweet feeds into the media obsession with the Russia collusion story on the next page.
McCain is ill… he would resign if he had any honesty or patriotism in him.
That’s right
McCain is a traitor !!! Was a traitor in Vietnam and is to the Republican Party !!!!
No offense but McCain should focus on his health. I do not believe he is physicaly or mentaly fit to be making these kind of decisions and comments.
and people say we are losers in celebration of McCain’s demise
Shut up and die you old fucker . Soon baby soon to be dead
That is a grotesque comment. Shame on you
I think McCain has a real hard time that Trump got elected, but he didn’t when he ran. So as revenge he is doing everything he can to badmouth the president.
Sad guy about to die and still fighting
McCain your still the devil
