Obama Signs Defense Bill Authorizing $500 Million More In Aid To "Moderate" Syrian Rebels

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Earlier this year, The Pentagon had a plan. Apparently, someone in Centcom decided that there weren’t enough proxy armies battling for control of Syria and so, what the US needed to do was spend $500 million on a new “train and equip” program which, if all went according to plan, would result in the recruitment of more than 5,000 fearsome warriors by the end of 2015. 

Of course the CIA and The Pentagon had already spent years arming, funding, and training Syrian rebels but as it turns out, most of them either proved to be wholly ineffective or else became terrorists. Although the CIA program was still operational, the Obama administration thought it would be advantageous to have (another) parallel program in place wherein “properly vetted” fighters would receive a steady stream of logistical support, training, and weapons. 

What exactly this new crack squad was supposed to do is still largely unclear. The official line - of course - was that they would fight ISIS and presumably al-Nusra. That would be amusing enough if it were true. That is, the US is widely suspected of providing support to ISIS early on in the fight and the FSA (which is explicitly backed by the US and its regional allies) formed an alliance with al-Nusra long ago. In short, if the US really was training soldiers to fight ISIS and al-Nusra, the program represented an attempt on Washington’s part to clean up a mess of America’s own making by doing the exact same thing (i.e. arming insurgents) that created the mess in the first place. 

Of course it’s unlikely that the program’s real goal was to fight Islamic State. After all, the US needs ISIS to continue the fight against Assad and indeed, at the time of the program’s inception, Russia wasn’t in Syria yet meaning there was still a very real possibility that Islamic State would eventually march on Damascus. It seems far more plausible that the new group of recruits were simply the latest effort on Washington’s part to field a reliable anti-Assad army that could be counted upon to continue to destabilize the regime and perpetuate American interests. 

Well, not to put too fine a point on it, but the effort was a miserable failure. By the time summer rolled around, the US had only managed to recruit around a dozen or so fighters. The group’s commander and deputy commander were kidnapped by al-Nusra in late July and in September, Centcom chief Gen. Lloyd Austin told congress that only around “four or five” soldiers were still on the ground. “Let’s not kid ourselves, that’s a joke. This is just a total failure,” Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) and Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) told Austin and Christine Wormuth, Undersecretary of Defense for Policy.

Things only got worse a week later when The Pentagon admitted that the “four or five” fighters still operating under the program were forced to hand over six “pickup trucks” and an ammo cache to al-Qaeda in order to secure safe passage to who knows where. 

Mercifully, the program was scrapped in early October.

But that experience did not deter the US from providing weapons to groups deemed "moderate" by The Pentagon and CIA. In fact, after Russia and Iran ramped up their efforts to support Assad's depleted forces, the US, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar stepped up the weapons shipments to the FSA and other militants operating in Syria. The US, for instance, air dropped 50 tons of weapons into the middle of desert last month. The stash was supposedly intended for the brand new "Syrian Arab Coalition" which, as we outlined in side-splitting detail, is a largely fictional group the US made up in order to hide the fact that the weapons and ammo really went to the Kurdish YPG, an outcome that would be decisively unpalatable to Washington's allies in Ankara. 

Finally, in the latest example of what can go wrong when you provide weapons to militants, the FSA's 1st Coastal Brigade used a US-supplied TOW to destroy a Russian search rescue helicopter last Tuesday in the wake of Turkey's move to down a Russian Su-24 near the Syrian border.

Obviously, all of these programs have been remarkably successful which is probably why President Obama has decided to approve some $800 million in additional aid to Syrian "moderates" and to the government in Kiev as part of the annual defense policy bill. Here's RT:

President Barack Obama has signed the Pentagon funding bill giving $800 million in aid to both “moderate rebels” in Syria and the Kiev regime. Obama also vowed to work around provisions blocking the closure of the Guantanamo Bay detention camp.

 

Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2015 on the eve of Thanksgiving. He previously vetoed the $612 billion bill in a well-publicized ceremony in October, arguing that the lawmakers dodged the spending limits by shifting money into the warfighting slush fund.

 

Although Congress then trimmed the bill down to $607 billion, the cuts did not affect the $300 million aid to the Ukrainian government, or the “zombie” surveillance blimp program that has cost nearly $3 billion so far. It also left almost $500 million dedicated to arming and training “moderate rebels” in Syria – a program the Pentagon had already abandoned.

Amusingly, "the NDAA specifically prohibits any US aid going to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), the Jabhat Al-Nusra Front, Al-Qaeda, the Khorasan Group, or any other violent extremist organization." Obviously that's a sick joke. As we saw last Monday, US-made TOWs make their way quickly to al-Nusra and what seems clear from the language in the bill is that Washington fully intends to continue to funnel arms to the FSA which is not only allied with al-Qaeda and who knows who else, but which is also now in the business of executing Russian pilots and blowing up search and rescue planes. 

Meanwhile, the Pentagon can now send “anti-armor weapon systems, mortars, crew-served weapons and ammunition, grenade launchers and ammunition, and small arms and ammunition" to Ukraine to aid in the fight against Russian-backed separatists. 

So there you have it America, your tax dollars hard at work funding proxy armies in Syria and a puppet government in Ukraine, as Washington struggles to preserve the last vestiges of US hegemony and Moscow fights to return the world to bipolarity.

Typical government policy at work here. This has been a complete and total failure, so obviously we need to try again, but this time with moar money.

Of course that assumes that arming ISIS is an unfortunate side effect rather than the goal. I'd sure love to see what Obamas body count is when he is finally out of office. I'll bet he even beats bush, who those on the left loved to call a war criminal for doing the exact same thing

Dear CENTCOM Command Staff,

Stop wasting my tax dollars on your treasonous clownfuckery and resign your commissions immediately. You make a mockery of all the U.S. soldiers that died in all the wars before this. You're a disgrace to the U.S. and every second you remain in the armed forces, you weaken America. You are enemies of this nation, not it's protectors. A substantial part of this country hates your treasonous Saudi butt-kissing, Israeli-firster asses. You are not heroes to anyone besides the chickenhawk mouthpieces on CNN and the NYT. 

You are usurpers of the U.S. constitution and an enemy of democracy. If you don't understand the oath you took when you were commissioned, then get the fuck out of the military. Go whore out your 'command' skills to Academi/Xe or the CIA where they can appreciate useless psychopaths like you. Stop embarassing the entire United States on the world's stage.

You stupid fuckers seem oblivious to the fact that you LOST THE WAR IN SYRIA. Assad is going nowhere and the FSA has ceased to exist as a unified group of coup-mercenaries for the U.S. - they represent NO legitimate political body capable of running Syria. You are doing little more than committing war crimes by salvaging the spoils of war for a few oil companies and the petty criminal regimes of Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey. 

Nobody cares that you're simply 'following orders' - that excuse didn't fly at Nuremberg and you fuckers are not getting a pass for Iraq or Syria. America will never forget your treason. If you don't understand the simple, obvious fact that you have been given illegal orders that defy the spirit and letter of the Constitution of the United States, then you are not bright enough or competent enough to protect it tomorrow OR EVER. Step down and let someone with a brain do your job instead, you treasonous fucks.

Oh, and thanks for your service, CENTCOM ASSHOLES.

The very same document that authorizes support for these moderates, NDAA, also authorizes the detention, without  charge, of US citizens that support terrorists.

For this to go unchallenged by any member of congress just shows how completely corrupted they are all.

Stroke,

What makes you think anything will be ANY different come January '17?

The fucking game is rigged.

The system, being wholly corrupt, by law and logic cannot produce its own savior. It must be destroyed. We crawl towards a mass awakening. They are throwing everything and anything they can at us to minimize the possiblity of said revolution to occur. There is a limited amount of resources on this planet and they are scrambling for control of all the important shit, so that when, not IF it happens, they and theirs chances are maximized in the resulting chaos.

I wouldn't be surprised if the billionares have their tickets bought and paid for, either to get off this ship through space or go deep into the earth, where they will be insulated from the carnage.

One day, maybe in our lifetimes, the fucker WILL go critical and "the system" will crash and burn.

Future generations will look back at our time and laugh at how gullible "we" were; calling it an Age of Strife fueled by Deception, Hypocrisy and Greed.

Then again, some systems of thought have already defined our place in the grand cycle as such.

https://thinkpatriot.wordpress.com/2015/11/28/nsas-capabilities-have-nev...

That aspect of 9/11, that colluding with foreigners to kill US citizens is treason as well as criminal, is what drives everything now.  NSA will not  be rolled back in its actual power, because it is the base of the Israeli-neocon power of blackmail and economic espionage.

Important parts of our government is run by criminals, at least the CIA and very likely NSA and important parts of the military and other intelligence agencies.

They will all be rolled back when this government collapses because of the corruption.

Quite some time ago, a Nazionist heading the CIA dared to declare that they own every person of influence in the U.S. media.

Good. Their names are on the list. And that is why they want to disarm law abiding citizens, while they gun up criminals.

The most gun crime occurs in places with the tightest controls. Why? Because of criminals. And that suits power brokers just fine.

An anecdote: my family is WASP. My father's best war time friends were not so, but I remember them as my 'uncles'. The descendants of these honest men who defend women and children are the ones which the .gov traitorous alien AshkeNAZI want to disarm, all for their Israhell, and globalist, bankster serving goal of a new world order, led by their psychopathy, disloyal to every person of any land; killing women and children most as we now see under their ISIS in the Middle East.

If we were on a gold standard and there were no Federal Reserve to print fiat money nor a fractional reserve lending system, then the people of the US would have been in OPEN ARMED REVOLT against the taxes ( paid in actual gold and silver) that would have been required to fund even .00001% of this BS!!!

The problem goes back to the US winning WW2 while the rest of the world was left in shambles. This allowed the dollar to emerge as the reserve currency which essentially means that the US has been able to strip all work, wealth and productivity from the rest of the world for the past 70 yrs.  Going off the gold standard in 1971 supercharged the FEDs/banksters' printing of money which has allowed these wars to be financed. But ever so slowly, the future living standard of the rest of the planet's  population will be squeezed away by future debt and inflation.

 

The US's  goal in the Middle East is simply to destabilize the whole region. Divide, disrupt,  and conquer. Foment trouble in Russia's southern underbelly. Screw with the financial system of China so that its economy derails under its debt bomb.

They will arm psychos all day long to take out the target they know how to fight.  They have no clue how to fight ISIS anyhow.

Putin is playing along and they will bleed him dry. $500 million in arms designed to blow up all the expensive military equipment he wants to ship down there. I would lik to think that this is all due to Obama's delicat sensibilities offended by Putin, but it is bigger than this.

think we are having a legal argument, and missing the point.

When the president orders troops into war (or a "police action"), it is an order given by the chief executive / commander in chief.

The legal term "Executive Order" (as in #11127) is something for lawyers to argue about. It concerns how executive branch agencies behave and interpret laws passed by Congress.

For the purposes of this discussion, when JFK took office there were less than 3000 "military advisers" in Vietnam, and when he was assassinated, "military advisers" numbered more than 16,000 (and were climbing based on the commander in chief's last orders given in California before leaving for Dallas).

JFK was the chief EXECUTIVE, and he was ORDERING additional troops into Vietnam. As commander in chief, his orders had to be obeyed -- until LBJ sent even more troops into a war no one was sure about.

Whether JFK was doing a "surge" in the hope of a withdrawal the following year has been the subject of debate, mostly by tin foil hat crowd -- since Kennedy wasn't dumb enough to box himself into a corner and commit one way or the other. Most politicians aren't dumb enough to draw red lines and limit their options...

Whatever someone thinks he meant to do the following year -- does not change the fact that JFK added thousands of "military advisers" to fight in a war he wasn't sure the US should be in at all.

And that "moderate escalation" turned out very very badly.

I cant think of anyway to waste money more, not only is the money not being put to good use, its being put to use to harm ourselves.

Its like we are paying 500million dollars to someone so they can do another 9/11 to us.

Obama: "here have 500million of our tax payers dollars, please blow some of the sheep up for us K? thnx"

It would be better/do more good if it was actually flushed down the toilet instead of handed to terrorists.

With the same pen, recipients of Social Security are denied a Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for inflation. Criminal.

Fucking Americans are trying to drain Russia while not worrying about the millions who will die in this geo-political struggle.... if there is evil on the planet it is the US gov and it's handlers. 

They must be stopped... don't give us shit about climate change while these fuckers still live.

Omega_Man,

Be grateful that this American preserves your right to write, although you are exceedingly ignorant. You should apologise, but I doubt that your conceit would allow such humility which is why you are a keyboard warrior of no use to anyone, least of all the country of your origin.

You are a nasty little carpet bagger of no use to any land, least of all the USA or any other country. You are one of those flimsy loudmouth nobodies who urges everyone else to pay for you because you are too weak or stupid to do it yourself.

Hasbara or another cowardly sort.

So based on US foreign intervention rules, I think it would be legal if Russia bombed munition plants in the US to prevent terrorists from getting weapons.

The Russian pilot is on his way home, and when his body is properly received, then you will see how the North deals with traitors in the Middle East including Israhell which is the main marketer for stolen oil, and weaponising ISIS.

How stupid do rhey think we are. That is 500 million for ISIS or Al Qeda

Three things happen when Obunghole gives moderates weapons:

1. They sell them to The headloppers
2. They out right give them to te child rapists
3. The liver eaters steal them from the moderates

Obama wants ISIS to have them. He just cant be seen to give them to them outrigh

One can't help but note the irony,

the NDAA also authorizes indefinite detention for US citizens

who support "terrorists" (AlQaeda, ISIS, etc.) or "extremists".

I hope Russian forces track these pallets of weapons that the US is dropping and immediately schedule a bombing run to vaporize the moderate terrorists gorging on the toys dropped by Uncle Sam.  Maybe even condition them to the idea that "pallet of arms" = "certain death".

American Constitution promotes Terrorism

------------------

Amendment II

As ratified by the States and authenticated by Thomas Jefferson, then-Secretary of State:

A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

------------------

America is a terrorist state

American government is a terrorist organisation

American MPs want war to make money

American corporations want war to make money

Amazingly ... The world biggest terrorist boss is still in the White House and not impeached and jailed.

I'm not really sure what could be worse then the actions of B. Obama, compared to all other presidents who were kicked out of office.

What is the difference between him and the others - who were - kicked out?

Why is he still the USA president? Bombing a country IS an act of war. Without proper authorisation he must be impeached.

How hard is that fact to understand? USA citizens must be real walking dead.

 Obama should have been impeached immediately

when he refused to prosecute BushII and Cheney for their crimes.
