` 80 "New Syrian Army" Killed in ISIS Ambush, Americans captured while a military coverup of major proportions is underway -- wo news stories today, least of which is the downing of a Syrian SU 22 by the al Islam Army, a Saudi Arabian paid force armed with American Stinger type missiles and Russian SAM 7s. Another Syrian jet was downed in Idlib ten days ago. The second story is an American disaster, one being kept secret, a botched operation at the Iraqi/Syrian border that represents the kind of intelligence failure easily predicted when allies like Israel, Turkey, Jordan and Saudi Arabia, who all took part in the planning, are deeply invested in an American failure. We begin. A combined US, British airborne special operation in remote Eastern Syria, at the confluence of the Euphrates River and the border with Iraq, went very wrong and will not be reported. American and British technicians were captured along with Jordanian advisors and 20 survivors of the US trained New Syrian Army which was virtually wiped out during the botched operation. A unit of the US trained New Syrian Army was wiped out on an attack on an ISIS controlled agricultural airstrip at al Bukamal, a short distance from the Iraqi border and the city of al Qaim. Our sources at the scene describe the operation which began with a two day long 200 plus mile convoy that moved up from the CIA training center at the Syrian-Jordanian border north to attack ISIS. They were joined by American and British special operations advisors, US Army Special Forces and British SAS, who parachuted in just before the attack. - Source 1 ` ******************` 1. There are no other reports or sources that can verify this. 2. If true, this will really be a setback for Obama.
This also doesn't bode well for the $500,000,000.00 program to train 3,000 Syrian soldiers where only 60 were trained in the first place. $500 million spent on training Syrian soldiers, only trained 60.
` The source also claimed there is a massive cover-up being enacted by the Obama administration. Given his obsession with secrecy, whistle blowers and journalists, it makes sense.
If this true,big you have boots on the ground and if things go wrong someone us viable to be killed or captured.
Wouldn't be surprised one bit. Maybe this force was wiped out and captured by a video. Afterall it couldn't be ISIS, they're on the run and scattered dont you know. This one bodes poorly for the Administration and of course Hillary so close to an election. It wont get alot of splash even if true.
I sure hope it doesn't happen...but if this story is true, then yes there should be. ISIS would love nothing more than to use captured US troops for their propaganda. Scary to think what would happen to them.
Says it took two days for a convoy to get to the attack point, I would think they would have been aware of it just from watching.
` I've been on this "news" story since I read it on Veterans Today, since July 1st. Gordon Duff, who has been described by other sites (mainly pro-Israeli) as a "source of disinformation" is the sole source of that story. I've tried to verify the story through my own contacts and on deep-web searches and even asked my baby brother (Afghanistan/Iraq war vet) for help and basically came up empty handed...basically. I see this as a crap shoot. I read a lot of responses to this story from Vets and am not yet willing to close the door on this event/issue.
