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.
William Gole. You know nothing about John McCain. His father was a Navy Admiral and John McCain was$#%&!@*got away with all kinds of things because of his father’s position. When he became a prisoner of war that’s when the attitude towards John McCain changed. The problem is John McCain was still an$#%&!@* He never changed. I did vote for him though.
You are wrong on this one , McCain was never charged with treason , and was therefor never pardoned .
Time for the Arizona legislature to empower Governor Doug Ducey of Arizona to appoint a real Republican to take his place in the Senate.
I don’t think we should have to cut him any slack. He refused to step down so that he can continue to try to take President Trump down so why do we owe him ANYTHING?
Once a traitor always a traitor
Richard the idiot has never been in his right mind
