    He ordered the CIA to stop providing the Syrian rebels with weaponry.

    Hay don't blame American civilians for what the U.S. government does, it's way out of our control at this point.

    O.k., that I hadn't heard yet. I checked and found a website....
    https://www.thenewamerican.com/usne...id-to-anti-assad-syrian-rebels-linked-to-isis
    which confirms that. BUT... what do you make out of this sentence?
    I don't get it! Aren't the rebels all the same?

    It can not, since an arbitrary arrest is illegal. Article 9

    Yes. And I met your mother 9 months before you got born.
    (you misspelled his last name.)

    You mean William. And what a load of bullcrap... lol
    You either source that Amnesty International doesn't mind this locked up without a trial indefinite or I'll be just bin this opinion of yours.

    In time of public emergency. When did the US claim to be in that emergency at the UN? I don't think they have.

    The US illegally invaded Iraq to make a regime change happen, and so created ISIL, and so is responsible for the 100.000's of deaths, the millions of people on the run, not to mention tortured 1000's of people.

    Merwen, I'm still confused!
    See and read this:
    Trump Ends CIA Aid to Anti-Assad Syrian Rebels Linked to ISIS
    President Trump has ended the CIA’s covert program to provide arms and supplies to Syrian rebel groups fighting the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad — which have included Al Nusra, al-Qaeda, and other extremist elements that created, armed, funded, and built up ISIS. The CIA’s training and arming of jihadist anti-Assad rebels, which started under former President Obama, actually helped create ISIS.
    ....
    A downside of the CIA program, one of the officials said, is that some armed and trained rebels defected to the Islamic State and other radical groups, and some members of the previous administration favored abandoning the program.
    ....
    However, U.S. aid to Syrian rebels groups will not end completely.
    Before assuming office in January, Trump suggested he could end support for Free Syrian Army groups and give priority to the fight against Islamic State.

    A separate effort by the U.S. military to train, arm and support other Syrian rebel groups with air strikes and other actions will continue, the officials said.

    So, fleeing to ISIS they will be safe?

    It's difficult to make head and tail out of this conflicting squabble.

    Thanks for the link. I have to fully digest it , but it does seem confusing...at this point your guess is as good as mine.
