After initial denials last week that any of the approximately 70 in the second class of rebels had handed over their equipment, U.S. Central Command (Centcom) admitted on Friday that the unit had handed over six pick-up trucks and a portion of their ammunition.


Seriously, has the 'training and arming rebels' EVER WORKED?


Someone please explain to me how training "70" fighters is somehow a 500 MILLION dollar program?!

Sorry sweetie, but I am not a rightwinger.
