Syrian militias armed by different parts of the U.S. war machine have begun to fight each other on the plains between the besieged city of Aleppo and the Turkish border, highlighting how little control U.S. intelligence officers and military planners have over the groups they have financed and trained in the bitter five-year-old civil war.

Same shit, different day. It's not as if this hadn't happened before, in other parts of the world.

Gee, someone here has been pissing and moaning about redundant, wasteful, redundant, stupid and redundant government spending for some time now and whining it should be spent on (of all things) Zika control and food and shelter for the homeless.

He needs to wise up . . .

Reinforcing the idea in the minds of non-Americans that Americans are all stupid. Things like this are what cause people to think the United States are a joke. American foreign policy is embarrassing. No wonder so many people hate America. They need to stop interfering everywhere.

And, the military terms. SNAFU which almost always devolves to FUBAR.
