Ramadi

Not to mention that some of our Syrian rebel trainees recently turned over sixteen truckloads of weapons to al-Qaeda.

The real kicker? The Pentagon says that despite that, the program will continue.

WTF?

There are only 6 of them.  That's over two truckloads per "volunteer."

I don't know that it was the same, ahem, "brigade".

I do know that we've been throwing a shitload of ordinance into the fire, and it's folly to expect that none of the rounds will blow up in our face. Fucking stupid, the Internet definition of insanity. We learnt nothing from Iran, we learnt nothing from Afghanistan, and we're applying all those misconceptions again.

At least the Japanese commit seppuku when shit turns out this bad. The brass in the Pentagon, not one has the balls to resign his commission based on predictable blowback.
