80 “New Syrian Army” Killed in ISIS Ambush, Americans captured while a military coverup of major proportions is underway

Update/Exclusive:  The downed Syrian pilot is identified as Noras Hassan.  He has been captured and executed by the Islam Army.  Efforts to secure his release though Saudi Arabia were unsuccessful.

Two news stories today, least of which is the downing of a Syrian SU 22 by the al Islam Army, a Saudi Arabian paid force armed with American Stinger type missiles and Russian SAM 7s.  Another Syrian jet was downed in Idlib ten days ago.  The second story is an American disaster, one being kept secret, a botched operation at the Iraqi/Syrian border that represents the kind of intelligence failure easily predicted when allies like Israel, Turkey, Jordan and Saudi Arabia, who all took part in the planning, are deeply invested in an American failure.  We begin.

A combined US, British airborne special operation in remote Eastern Syria, at the confluence of the Euphrates River and the border with Iraq, went very wrong and will not be reported.  American and British “technicians” were captured along with Jordanian advisors and 20 survivors of the US trained New Syrian Army which was virtually wiped out during the botched operation.

A unit of the US trained New Syrian Army was wiped out on an attack on an ISIS controlled agricultural airstrip at al Bukamal, a short distance from the Iraqi border and the city of al Qa’im.

Our sources at the scene describe the operation which began with a two day long 200 plus mile convoy that moved up from the CIA training center at the Syrian-Jordanian border north to attack ISIS. They were joined by American and British special operations advisors, US Army Special Forces and British SAS, who parachuted in just before the attack.

The attack, at dawn June 30, began with the New Syrian Army seizing the small airport at Bukamal, an agricultural airstrip converted to an ISIS underground command center.  This was followed by an American bombing attack across a number of “targets” in the area.  Then the Americans dropped leaflets advising locals to leave the area.  ISIS did not leave, not hardly, they were waiting.
