Well, now, isn't this a dandy development?

What we're getting for the $500 million the Reasonable Gentlemen on Capitol Hill, seduced once again by the Most Equal Comrade, are pissing away on "moderate" Syrian rebels:

Reports since yesterday indicate that a U.S.-trained Syrian rebel leader has deceived his American handlers and has defected to Jabhat al-Nusra — the official al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria.

This report comes just days after a senior U.S. military commander told Congress that only 4 to 5 U.S.-trained Syrian fighters are effectively engaged against ISIS as a result of a $500 million program pushed through by GOP congressional leadership a year ago.

Recall that last week the MEC tried to turn the tables and say that it was these Congressional leaders - along with Hillionaire - who pushed him to "vet" and train "moderate" Syrian rebels.

Meanwhile, our know-how is now being employed in the service of vicious jihad that ultimately aims at our own destruction.
