By attempting to mischaracterize Russia's actions against ISIS in Syria, Washington has admitted that the terrorists from outside Syria, who are attempting to overthrow the elected government of Syria, are "our guys."

In an interview with Fox "News," a senior US government official said: "Putin is deliberately targeting our forces. Our guys are fighting for their lives."

Professor Michel Chossudovsky reports that "our guys" includes Western military advisers, intelligence agents and mercenaries recruited from private security companies.

The defense official told Fox "News" that the Russians are "completely disingenuous about their desire to fight ISIS." According to the Obama regime, all of the hundreds of Russian air and missile attacks against ISIS are directed at US trained moderate terrorists — all five of them — and their hundreds of Western advisors.

Evidently, the senior defense official forgot that General Lloyd Austin, who heads US Central Command, recently told the Senate Armed Services Committee that only 4 or 5 of the US-trained "moderate terrorists" remain on the battle field. Obama has cancelled the failed $500 million waste of US taxpayers money to train "moderate terrorists" to overthrow the Syrian government. The trainees took the money and ran.
