Syrian rebels using WW2 American weapons Anonymous 2016-01-04 01:10:13 Post No. 28418390 [Report]

So Seymour Hersh just broke a story on the Obama admin's strategy in Syria and makes the claim the the Joint Chiefs opposed Obama's work with Turkey to aid the rebels because they were helping ISIS and JAN.

He says they pentagon, opposing the president's orders, circumvented the administration and passed intelligence on to countries with the understanding that it would be shared with Assad's regime. They also apparently complied with programs in arming the "moderate rebels" but did so with "the most obsolete weapons in our arsenal" such as "m1 carbines that hadn't seen service since the korean war."

I can't say I've seen a single picture or video footage of anyone in Syria with an M1 carbine. Anyone got anything?

I know this isn't /pol/ but here is the article for reference

Strongly doubt. I mean, CMP barely sells Carbines anymore, those stocks are surely all but depleted by now. To say nothing of the availability of .30 in Syria.

Well that's what I'm wondering. If there are actually M1carbines being given to rebels to circumvent Obama's anti-assad policy.

apparently the Obama and hillary dream team has been supporting regime change in Syria for quite some time. Michael Sheuer says that the CIA moreso than any other agency serves the president. They wouldnt have been smuggling weapons into Syria from libya if Obama didn't want them to.

They did support it from the beginning. I remember when the SAS was being down there and Obama wanted to declare war, but got btfoed.
