The only fruit you reap from illogical and harebrained concepts is complete and total failure ....

and those who planned and carried out those illogical and harebrained ideas deserve our utmost contempt.  In training one kind of jihadis to kill another kind of jihadis, the US politicians who are bought  lock, stock and barrel, by their foreign masters, have wasted millions of taxpayers' money.

The most recent offensive, dubbed Operation Southern Storm, began on 25 June. It was planned, equipped and directed by the MOC, which is staffed by senior military figures from 14 countries including the US, Europe and the Arab Gulf. The MOC provides approved rebel groups with weapons, ammunition and salaries for fighters, and in return, the MOC directs the actions of the groups it supports

Speaking anonymously as he is not authorised to discuss MOC proceedings, the source said American and Jordanian backers firmly vetoed any future operations against Daraa. Commanders in the field were notified, he said, and told not to bring the subject up again in the coming months.
