Having thrown hundreds of millions of dollars at the various “moderate” Syrian rebel factions, the US has very little to show for it, as not only have groups like ISIS and Jabhat al-Nusra long surpassed the moderates as the dominant rebel faction, but ISIS appears to be on the cusp of forming its own country, carved out of Iraq and Syria.
Still, President Obama sees no reason to try something new, and is doubling down with a request to Congress for another $500 million for Syrian rebel funding, aiming at both training and equipment for the factions.

Another $500 Million for Syrian Rebels
I want something done about the situation, I think we should help, but money almost always ends up in the wrong hands
'wrong' for who?
For us maybe..for the Kurds..for neighbouring countries etc
who is 'us' ?
:)
:)
The United States of Murca, and its allies. Israel, the Saudi's, UK etc. The last thing that we need to happen is for that money to be directed to those that want to annihilate us, rather than the "vetted Syrian rebels"
