The video speaks for itself. Moderate rebels have all been absorbed into Al Qaeda and ISIS for years now.

I've been saying this for a long time.

There is no "moderate" rebels in Syria, nor were there any in Libya. That term was just branded by the White House to avoid criticism. The same "insurgents" that fought against American Iraq occupation is now being armed by the US to fight against ISIS. Nobody knows whats truly going on.

Obama and Clinton funded these terrorist groups which fueled the entire civil war. And STILL funds them.

Obama's foreign policy in the middle east is a complete disaster. I see posters in vanilla claim Obama is a top 5 US president of all time.... Wrong.

The fact that Obamas approval rating is so high proves how ignorant and uneducated most Americans are. Obama couldn't have done any worse on the world stage.

He is finishing strong by going out a complete coward with the anti settlement vote. He's being laughed at by Putin and the rest of the world.

And you wonder how Trump won the election!

So, are we counting Rojava Cantons as "moderate rebels"? They are rebels obviously, but I'd hardly count them as "moderate".

Yep. I mean, how do they survive without the initial arming and funding, let alone grow and prosper? Hundreds of millions of dollar don't just fall out of the sky. Then Obama's view of them as the "jv team" and not helping the Iraqis more, allowed them to take US equipment by the thousands such as 2300 armored humvees and banks with hundreds of millions in cash and gold reserves.

I don't know a huge amount of American presidential history, but he'd have to be in the bottom 3 in terms of foreign policy. Between China and radicalization (which haunt us for decades to comes - many thousands of Westerners have travelled to fight with ISIS, rape children (which is a core part of Islamic theocracy, provided they're not Muslim), etc. Many have returned from head-lopping, child-raping, battle hardening experiences. Add to that Syrian "refugees" who are mostly fit young men. It's a catastrophe. Many of these men will be the source of future terror. You could not **** up the Middle East more than Obama has done if you were trying. You'd have to nuke them to kill more people than Obama has killed with his insane policies.

Top 5 is pretty lol. He's definitely in the top 50 though.

They only say this because they're afraid of being called a racist if they criticize him. If he was a white dude, they'd hate him for sh*tting on the Nobel Peace prize he got.

It is worse than this, indeed the same rebels are armed in Libya are the ones who are in ISIS and we are arming them with shoulder fired in Syria while simultaneously fighting them in Iraq. It's total madness and anyone with a brain could have concluded something like this would happen on the invasion of iraq.

The invasion of Iraq turned out to be a mistake mostly due to how the US mishandled things post combat. Obama has made sure the lasting consequences are as bad as they possibly could be.

I think 5 is closer to right if we are talking about the number of "moderate rebels" trained. Costing 500 million.
