<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nAccording to Fox News<\/a>, General Lloyd Austin, commander of the U.S. Central Command, was grilled by Congress about the progress of the grand White House plan to train 5400 Syrians by the end of the year to fight against ISIS. General Austin admitted that only about “four or five” remained on the battle field. You’d think they’d be able to nail the number down a little better. But no.<\/p>\n Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., suggested the Pentagon shift to supporting other countries operating in the region like Turkey. <\/p>\n “This four or five U.S.-trained fighters — let’s not kid ourselves, that’s a joke,” she said. <\/p>\n The witnesses acknowledged the shortcomings with the program but suggested it is salvageable. <\/p>\n “They will figure out a way to get the job done one way or the other,” Austin said of U.S. trainers. <\/p>\n Christine Wormuth, under secretary of defense for policy, said the mission is part of a “broader effort” and those getting training can be “force multipliers” for other groups on the ground. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n I’m pretty sure that General Austin was hating his job. Those “four or five” force multipliers are gong to be pretty busy, multiplying like bunnies. Stars & Stripes<\/a> says that John McCain said that he’s never been to a hearing that was so “divorced from reality”. You ain’t seen nuthin’ yet, Senator. We still have another year and a half of this BS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
