Taxpayer $$ to terrorists in Syria halted

Exclusive: CIA-backed aid for Syrian rebels frozen after Islamist attack - sources

CIA-coordinated military aid for rebels in northwest Syria has been frozen since they came under major Islamist attack last month, rebel sources said, raising doubts about foreign support key to their war against President Bashar al-Assad.
Rebel officials said that no official explanation had been given for the move this month following the jihadist assault, though several said they believed the main objective was to prevent arms and cash falling into Islamist militant hands. But they said they expected the aid freeze to be temporary.
The halt in assistance, which has included salaries, training, ammunition and in some cases guided anti-tank missiles, is a response to jihadist attacks and has nothing to do with U.S. President Donald Trump replacing Barack Obama in January, two U.S. officials familiar with the CIA-led program said.

One of the things I thought Trump would do would be to stop arming/funding/training terrorists. Hopefully it happens soon. However, I don't know the reality of it.
Oh well, at least it has stopped momentarily

We can only hope that Trump stops the flow of $$$$ to terrorists. There were never any true rebels. Just mercenaries to overthrow Assad for the Muslim Brotherhood to take over Syria.

From the article :
Before assuming office, Trump suggested he could end support for FSA groups and give priority to the fight against Islamic State (IS), whose well-armed jihadists hold large tracts of eastern and central Syria.
But Trump's administration has yet to declare a firm policy toward Syria and Iraq, despite his repeated vows to eradicate IS, so it has been "business as usual" with covert and overt training and military support programs, one U.S. official said.

I still can't believe we backed the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and as if we didn't learn our lesson there we're backing the MB taking over Syria.

That's insane. Flat out crazy.
