Timber Sycamore was a classified weapons supply and training program run by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and supported by some Arab intelligence services, such as the security service in Saudi Arabia. Launched in 2012 or 2013.
It supplied money, weaponry and training to rebel forces fighting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the Syrian Civil War. According to US officials, the program was run by the CIA's Special Activities Division [6] has trained thousands of rebels.[7][8] President Barack Obama secretly authorized the CIA to begin arming Syria’s embattled rebels in 2013.[9]
According to American and Jordanian officials, weapons shipped into Jordan by the CIA and Saudi Arabia were stolen by Jordanian intelligence officials in the General Intelligence Directorate (Jordan) and sold on the black market.[26][14]
The magnitude of the theft amounted to millions of dollars, and FBI officials state that some of the stolen weapons were later used to kill two American contractors, two Jordanians and one South African at a police training station in Jordan.[7][26] Arms received via Timber Sycamore have flooded Middle Eastern black markets with heavy weaponry.
So when we here the outcome, so far, of the death, homelessness, refugees, and the misery of it all, here is the Obama/Biden administration.
