joining us now, michael weiss, he is author of "isis: inside the army of terror."'s talk first about the fact that ash carter came out this week and said this program hasn't worked, and this is after the head of central command testified in front of congress a few weeks ago that only four or five rebels that were trained by the u.s. are actually still fighting isis. >> yeah. >> four or five. >> the real nail in the coffin was the second class of the so-called new syrian forces dispatched into aleppo two, three weeks ago. daily beast where i work, we reported on this extensively. what happened was the guy who was commanding them had not been trained by the pentagon. and only partially vetted by the u.s. government. they dispatched these guys and about 70 of them headed by this commander. what did the commander do? he took the equipment, the u.s. provided materiel, guns, pickup trucks, sold 20% of it to al qaeda. so that was the end of that program. >> right. >> but it's bizarre, isn't it, that you're going to train up the tactical fighters, the low-level rank-and-fi
