Pentagon: reports of desertion in Syria of trained opposition fighters are a lie

25
On Wednesday, the Pentagon issued a refutation of reports about the transfer of American-trained opposition fighters to the side of the Islamists in Syria. According to the official, this information is a fake launched by extremists themselves in order to discredit the efforts of the United States, reports RIA News.

Representatives of the Syrian "moderate" opposition.

Earlier in the network appeared messages, supported by photographic material, about the transition of "moderate" oppositionists to the side of terrorists along with weapons.

“We believe that these messages are false. We have no information that the statements about desertion are any true at all, ”said Pentagon spokesman Jeff Davis at a briefing. He also noted that the weapons issued to the fighters are still with them.

According to Davis, "social media reports about the desertion of oppositionists are spread by the Dzhebhat al-Nusrah group, a local Al-Qaida unit that is actively trying to discredit US efforts."

As previously reported, 70 fighters trained by the US in Turkey also entered the territory of Syria. According to the Pentagon, they must fight on the side of the "moderate" opposition with both the IS militants and the troops of Bashar al-Assad.

    Here's how easy it is to burn.))) Now it’s even clear to the near-by that the opposition’s war with Assad is the work of the United States. They themselves admitted that they were preparing the opposition in the camps for war with Assad.))))

      === “We believe that these messages are false. We have no information that the allegations of desertion are at least somewhat true. ”===

      And they NEVER have information about what they don’t like, where they were offended, burned or pierced.
      Typical "psachism"!

        That's people! They lied to the most honest Yankees! Well, the training of the militants has already gone through the payroll, they almost burned the laundering scheme - 500 million dollars for 60 students.
        They were just taught to do jogging every day in full ammunition, for health, they ran away, but the distance was long, until they came back! laughing

    to discredit US efforts

    What efforts the United States is trumpeting about. About arming and training those who then join the ranks of IS, this is how the American general admitted at a hearing in Congress. To a specific question - how many of those trained are currently fighting on the side of the "moderate opposition"? He was forced to answer that 5-6 people. What else and how can one discredit, if everything is already in the d.e. u.s.

      There is an alcoholic down the street, all pissed-calls. Everyone closes his nose from him, and he tells them this is such a cologne.
      In this case, the Pentagon behaves the same.

        You're right. Figuratively speaking, the United States has already sniffed its "cologne", so they cannot understand why some countries turn up their noses from them.

    “We believe these reports are false. We have no information that the statements about desertion are at least somewhat true, ”Pentagon spokesman Jeff Davis said at a briefing.
    We think ", that is, they don't know, but they hope ... And therefore everything that does not correspond to their hopes is a lie? This is some kind of voluntarism. Rolling out their eyes, American officials simply drive propaganda clichés about their impeccability, despite the lack of grounds for such allegations. Directly according to Goebbels - a lie repeated many times becomes true. And they have listeners in our country. Just yesterday on TV, Mr. V. Ryzhkov represented the United States as a fiend of nobility, humanism, democracy, freedom of speech and responsibility The ability of the United States to recognize and correct mistakes was especially noted.I watched, listened and wondered - how this traitor, who seems to be a professional historian, is kept in the university of the capital of the state, which he hates and despises?

    Of course lol ... The most truthful truth can only be those whom God has chosen for missions on planet Earth! And it cannot be otherwise. crying I started to cry ... How easy it is for them. White can be called black and vice versa. And everyone is simply obligated to believe, because in another way they’re not crawling. And the whole trouble lies in the fact that with the cowardly and tacit consent of the whole world this is happening! That's why there are different Libya with Syria and Ukraine, and this European helplessness in front of problems ...
    LIE rules the world, because the truth must be answered, and the lie ... the lie has become the guiding star of those who consider themselves "exceptional", chosen by God.
    And even the smallest truth that catches this lie in contradictions can be the weapon that can stop this bacchanalia on the planet. You just need to start believing in her hi

    The United States burned its office for anyone.
    A statement, at a minimum, proves that
    1) a war against government forces in Syria is waged by the United States by mercenary forces
    2) the "opposition" is not part of the people of Syria, protesting against the current government, they represent the interests of a foreign state
    3) in the current situation, the United States can be considered the sponsor of the terrorists - the fact that the militants trained by the United States do not fight on the side of the terrorists requires evidence that they do not have.

    I wonder what kind of effort it is and what it will lead to. After all, efforts can be made sitting on the pot. I think that it is precisely these efforts that the Americans are making. So soon we will see another batch of muck from the United States.

    70 more soldiers trained by the USA in Turkey entered the territory of Syria.

    Turkey and the USA! Some cook, others provide territory!
    Some want our participation in a coalition in the fight against ISIS, others seem to be thinking about a gas pipeline and a gas hub!
    But some interfere with our participation in the fight against IS (although they want our participation in the fight against IS) and order their "sixes" to prohibit the passage of our "transport workers" to Syria over their territory, and yell heart-rendingly about our "military presence", others are preparing and provide territory for training militants against Syria!
    It’s not clear how that!
    You are already there Turks and Yankees, your mother, decide whether you are with whom! and against whom are you all?

    And to Turkey - "my" question - for providing both territory and recreation centers for the rabble that fought with us in the Caucasus! It was? There was a stigma in the cannon!
    But if it’s very serious, then the state was sick of it, by God!
    Perhaps it’s time to do something with them!

    "Exit" has shifted a little, so I'm writing!
    Happy to all!

    It turns out that General Austin is a liar
    Instead of five thousand Syrian opposition fighters, whom the United States planned to train to fight the Islamic State (the organization's activities are banned in Russia - ed.), Only five people are involved in real clashes, the TV Center reports. The Senate was informed about this by the General of the United States Army Lloyd Austin.

    And indeed, there is confirmation of the lie of the general
    Colonel Patrick Ryder, spokesman for the US Department of Defense, spoke to the press on behalf of the Pentagon. He told the audience that the number of trained SSA fighters is much more than General Austin had named, and is not "four or five" people, but as many as ... nine!

    According to General Austin, the United States has trained about 60 fighters of the so-called moderate Syrian opposition in Turkey in several months to fight the Islamic State (IS) group. In July they were transferred to Syria, where they were defeated by the forces of the Jabhat al-Nusra group within a few days. The Pentagon has allocated more than $ 41 million for their preparation.
