Reports of U.S. supplied weapons falling into the hands of "Al-Nusra Front" must come as a COMPLETE SHOCK to JCS, DOD… who would ever have GUESSED that these very same weapons will now kill American military personnel deploying AGAIN into Iraq, fuelling public outrage once more and providing Obama criminals justification for another "surge"

Jihadists with the Al-Qaeda affiliate known as the Al-Nusra Front took control of several villages in Syria’s Idlib province over the weekend and reportedly seized weapons from Western-backed moderate rebel groups.

TOW's now in the hands of CIA goat-herding nutcases |
Upwards of 80 American-made TOW anti-tank missiles reportedly were captured by Al-Qaed-linked fighters in Syria after Western-supported opposition groups were overrun or defected to Al-Nusra Front
The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Sunday that Al-Nusra fighters were successful with weekend advances that earned them control of the town of Khan Al-Sobol, as well as “most of the towns and villages of Al-Zaweyi Mountain in the countryside of Idlib,” citing unnamed sources described by the Observatory as reliable and trusted. In addition to seizing the town of Khan Al-Sobol, the Al-Qaeda linked extremist group has also allegedly
taken control over M’arshorin, M’sran, Dadikh, KafarBatikh and Kafruma, per the Observatory’s reporting, “where the Islamic battalions and Hazm are located.”
According to an article published late Sunday by the
Washington Post, rebel commanders, activists and analysts in Syria corroborated reports that moderate rebels “either surrendered or defected” to Al-Nusra over the weekend upon the group’s advance, with area residents adding to the paper that the defeated groups handed over their weapons. This could be a serious blow to the Obama administration’s effort to create a significant opposition force capable of fighting the so-called Islamic State and Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad’s forces. The US planned to arm and train at least 5,000 fighters from CIA-vetted moderate groups; however, the latest setback may complicate American efforts.

THESE are the CIA trained and funded fruitcakes that now have their hands on U.S. TOW missiles |
According to the Post, some Syrians are unwilling to join Western-backed opposition groups. “When American airstrikes targeted Al-Nusra, people felt solidarity with them because Nusra are fighting the regime, and the strikes are helping the regime,” Raed Al-Fares, an activist leader in Kafr Nabel, in Idlib, told the Post. “Now people think that whoever in the Free Syrian Army gets support from the U.S.A. is an agent of the regime.”
A day earlier on Saturday, the Observatory reported that militants belonging to the
Islamic State group, also known as ISIS or ISIL, have traveled individually into Idlib province recently to assist with the Al-Nusra Front’s fight against the Syrian Revolutionaries Front, or SRF — an anti-government battalion that has reportedly received support from the United State and other western nations opposed to the Assad regime.

Al-Raqqah Magazine, an online media group that routinely posts updates about the Islamic State and Al-Nusra, said on Twitter early Monday that a trove of military goods including 10 tanks and more than 80 anti-tank, or TOW, missiles, were taken from the SRF.
