Quote:Two intelligence analysts at U.S. Central Command claim to have been forced out of their jobs for producing skeptical reports about U.S.-backed rebels in Syria, The Daily Beast reported Sunday.

The report claimed that one of the two analysts alleging the reprisals is CENTCOM's top analyst in charge of Syria. He and his colleague doubted the rebels' abilities and commitment to U.S. interests in Syria. For expressing those doubts, the report claims, they have been sidelined from their positions and well not be working at CENTCOM.

It was not immediately clear whether the two analysts had formally left their jobs.

The latest accusations of interference with battlefield analysis at CENTCOM centers on the $500M program by the Obama administration to train and arm so-called "moderate" members of Syria's rebel armies.

They're lucky they only lost their jobs. I wouldn't be surprised if they get prosecuted for treason on some national security violation.

Hard(ly) at work training !

The Bush administration also got rid of people that weren't toeing the line on the invasion of Iraq.

Yea, I was about to post the same thing. Their were people in the military and intelligence communities that had problems with the justification and a lack of consideration for what to do with the country after toppling Saddam.

2633 days after he left office and we STILL have to hear "But Bush...."

That's because all the posts imply that Obama is doing everything wrong and no one on the Repub side complained about the huge fiasco that started all this.

So start a thread talking about what happened under Bush if you like. this thread is talking about what is happening right now under Obama. You know.....the guy who was elected because he said he was going to fix everything Bush "screwed up".

I wonder if they mentioned the individual rebels by name... there were only ever 26 of them that qualified as US backed (most of those 26 are either dead or wisely changed allegiance in order to not suffer that fate.
