So the "good rebels" leadership was wiped out...

[CJCRANE]

According to recent news stories, the leadership of the "moderate" rebels in Syria was wiped out in a large explosion.

Another news story tells us that the moderate rebels made a pact to work with ISIS, or at least not to fight against them.

So, the moderate rebels now have no leaders and are on good terms with ISIS...

So doesn't that indicate that they will end up working *for* ISIS?

(And who are these ISIS guys anyway and why do they keep making videos that will bring down a ton of pain on them? Plus I wonder if we will ever get to know who this "Jihadi John" is who appears in them? Or will all this just be forgotten like the secret Tora Bora subterranean supervillain fortress?)

1. I wonder if the president really thinks...

That these "rebels" are going to cheer the US invading their country and bombing their homes and infrastructure.

We're going to be in for an ugly surprise if so.

2. From what I have heard...

... they are the former AQ that we enticed to Iraq, in order to fight AQ "over there" rather than over here. Sad, because before we invaded Iraq, there was no AQ in Iraq.

And as to the whereabouts of "Jihadi John," one would think that our vast over-sized intelligence agencies (NSA, CIA, & DIA) should be able to locate them. If not, then why in the Hell do we fund those agencies? Oh snap... it's because those agencies are now used to watch all of us "dangerous" American Citizens instead of keeping and eye on our foreign enemies.
