Special investigation by Whitney Webb for Mint Press News: The Trump administration announced that it would end the CIA’s covert program aimed at arming and training
terrorist-linked “moderate rebels” in Syria, sparking hope among some
Trump supporters that he was finally enacting the anti-interventionist
rhetoric of his campaign.
However, a recently released report shows that the Pentagon has picked
up the slack left by the end of the CIA’s program — pumping billions of
dollars worth of weapons into the hands of Syrian “rebels,” while
attempting to mask the paper trail and their suppliers’ ties to
organized crime. #Syria
