U.S. Troops Heading To Syria

Up to 1,000 U.S. troops will be sent to Syria to train that country's opposition forces to take on the Islamic State. Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm. John Kirby said training could start this spring and run through the end of the year. Trainers and support personnel will come from a range of forces, including special operations and conventional brigades. The Pentagon hasn't issued orders yet. Kirby says those could come as early as next week. He says the U.S. troops will use a multi-layered vetting process to make sure the Syrians they train are trustworthy.

Obama is not only targeting ISIS, that operation is actually cover for the real goal of target Syrian loyalists and removing Assad.
Stupid.

What ever the reason. Should not be there. You can't trust any of these savages.

Absolutely 7:43. Their biggest advantage (and the one that will make them the most difficult to fight over here) is that it is impossible to tell them apart. It's not that hard to figure out! We are training and equipping the enemy.

Multi layered vetting process.
Sounds like multi error process.
Keep arming the pork haters club members and act surprised when your child is killed by this equipment and training.

Sounds similar to our initial involvement in Vietnam.

Equipping Muslims to fight Muslims is peeing in the wind. We need to get the heck out of the middle of Muslim on Muslim kill-fests. A lot of good it did us in Iraq. Let them continue to kill each other. There won’t be as much time for them to kill "infidels" (anybody who isn’t Muslim).
