What Just Happened in Syria?

[Locutus]

Last week, after the White House announced its support for Syrian rebels was finished, the United States said it dropped 50 tons of ammunition from the air into Syria, ostensibly for unnamed Arab groups fighting ISIS. That, supposedly, was the last assistance those people were going to get.

A few days later, various anti-ISIS Syrian Arabs issued a collective, huh?

What happened to that ammo that supposedly fell out of the sky?

Nobody seemed to get any ammo.

All became clear the next day when Eli Lake and Josh Rogin reported in Bloomberg that, according to various officials, the aid was never intended for Syrian Arabs. That 50 tons of ammo actually went to the Kurds.

Turkey publicly summoned the US ambassador to complain.

“Turkey cannot accept any kind of cooperation with terror organizations that have declared war against Turkey,” Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said.

That ammunition went to no kind of terrorist organization. It went to the Kurdish People’s Protection Units, or YPG, the only half-way sane militia in all of Syria that’s capable of taking on ISIS and winning.

The Kurd's should be armed they are not only fighting for their lives
they can be trusted. Anti Syrian Government Rebels should not be
armed they are destabilizing a recognized government internationally.
Besides know one outside of the Kurd's can really be trusted.
Keep the Syrian Government and use the bases inside the country to
after ISIS work with Russia not against Russia on this one.
The problem for the region is the refugees who have left will likely never
return they are the educated and skilled and they do not want what the
crazy religious people are fighting for the economy of the Middle East
will suffer for decades to come as a result

The Americans will continue to arm the Israeli commanded ISIS forces until Israel gives them permission to stop. It would help everyone interested to recognize who has command and control. Hint, it isn't the US government, at least not the visable US government.
