Syria crisis: First CIA-trained rebel unit about to join fighting against Assad regime, says Obama
The first Syrian rebels to be trained by a CIA programme in Jordan are sneaking into the warzone and ready to strike back at the Assad regime, US President Barack Obama has reportedly said.
In his efforts to secure the support of Republican Senator John McCain in a crucial upcoming Congress vote on military action, the president indicated that the covert operation to bolster rebels’ chances on the ground was about to pay dividends, according to the New York Times.
In a meeting at the White House lasting an hour yesterday, Mr Obama and Mr McCain appeared united in their agreement that any action on Syria needed to go beyond the superficial, and the president has since said he wants to “degrade Assad’s capabilities”.
The first cell of 50 rebels trained and armed by the CIA, reportedly in Jordan, has begun to cross over into enemy lines. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/syria-crisis-fi...

This is what you get when we don't have a two party system at tha national level any more. The end game of Obama and his war-monger friends is Iran. If they can get Syria out of the way, they will have a straight shot at Iran. Iran refuses to sell their oil using the dollars. So, the US is afraid other oil producing countries will follow and cause a run on the dollar.The game plan is to stop Iran at all costs and stop what might be a run on the dollar. If you follow the money you can usually find the truth.

Truth. Today was a ruse.
Can you imagine what its like living in Damascus, knowing its coming... hoping it lands not on you? And McCain makes jokes about getting caught playing candy crush during the hearing. Surreal.
