The Pentagon Is Officially Training the ‘Moderate Syrian Rebels’ — Whoever They Are — to Fight ISIS

One of the top stories on the Voice of America, our government’s admitted propaganda outlet, is about how the Pentagon has officially begun training the so-called moderate Syrian rebels on the ground in Syria to fight the Islamic State.

You know… Whoever the rebels are.

The Pentagon says it has started training moderate Syrian rebels to fight against Islamic State militants on the ground in Syria.

U.S. Defense Secretary Ashton Carter told reporters Thursday that 90 highly-vetted individuals began training at a secure location, which he did not disclose, and that the program will gradually expand.

“This is a complex program. It’s going to have to evolve over time,” Carter said. “We’re starting with the people … that we vetted very carefully. We’re figuring out what the best training is, what the best initial deployment is. We expect that to be successful and therefore to grow. But you have to start somewhere.”

“Highly-vetted,” huh?

As I’ve previously reported, it is on record that the U.S. has trained and funded ISIS and without the U.S. government, ISIS would not be the threat we are told it has become.

Now our government is going to train and arm more people to fight the people the government armed and trained.

Yet somehow the American people are still supposed to believe there is a clear cut “good guy” (the moderate Syrian rebels) and a “bad guy” (ISIS).

There is no such thing as the “Free Syrian Army.” As Aron Lund broke it down at some length, there is no unified, organized rebel faction in Syria that we can actually point to and go, “Yep, that’s clearly the FSA.”

…the FSA doesn’t exist – at least not as commonly perceived. Global Syria coverage would be a lot less confusing if journalists didn’t persist in pretending that it does…

After breaking down all the different random groups that have paraded under the banner of FSA over the recent months, Lund goes on to say:

I wish that the FSA did exist. A unified rebel leadership would spare Syria much of the bloodshed that lies ahead… Unfortunately, my mere wishing won’t make it so. But neither will sloppy and distorted news reporting.

Remember when John McCain came under heavy media fire for posing in a picture with some supposed Syrian rebels?

Surely those guys weren’t ISIS, right? They were definitely rebels?

Is that why those guys, who definitely aren’t related to ISIS in any way, then used the pictures of McCain’s visit as the star feature of a new ISIS recruiting campaign over there?

Surely he meant to say the rebels, right?

Even McCain accidentally refers to the rebels as ISIS and can’t seem to tell the difference.

But it’s okay, we’re sending hundreds of millions of dollars over there and the Pentagon is on the ground in Syria training and arming… someone.

One last thing.

The Voice of America is the same place I found this perfectly posed picture, supposedly of the Syrian rebels:

“We will win or we die.”

Ask yourself this: Do you really think they’d take the time to spray paint their mission statement on the wall in both their native language and English?
