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.
Typical Trumpanzee nonsense.
I have empathy for his health problems and I find it amazing that he’s been able to capitalize on his traitor military career.
Die you old bastard
Am I supposed to care about McCain… Sorry I couldn’t care less… I appreciate his service in the Armed Forces… That is about it…
What a nut job. Just retire .JM
Let’s pray he will.
I’m sorry he is sick, but he must be getting paid big time.
Give me a break. McCain photographed with the ISIS leader on one of his trips. The clown picked the wrong team to befriend. Makes him a traitor
Trump prays for McCain and McCain insults Trump ..Let McCain pray for himself.
William Gole … did you not see the pics of him meeting with ISIS leaders?
