Do You Know What The U.S. Government Is Up To In Syria?

Ward is based in Turkey and his job is to oversee a growing and unusual U.S. humanitarian assistance program in rebel held areas in seven provinces across northern Syria. For Ward, he faced a new and daunting challenge when a radical Islamist rebel group ousted another rebel faction in Azaz in northern Syria, less than five miles from the Turkish border. Radical Islamist rebel fighters recently dislodged more moderate rebels from the town. There is intense fighting along Syria's northern and eastern borders, and often it's rebels battling other rebels, with more moderate forces pitted against al-Qaida offshoots.
