There is nothing in any of those citations saying or proving we provided arms to ISIS. There is only speculation. Unsourced speculation is not proof. If we provided arms to ISIS then why did we train and arm FSA which is fighting ISIS? Why are we bombing ISIS? Why are we coordinating attacks against ISIS with the Kurds, Iraqis and Syrians?
....So the British armed Hitler at Dunkirk?
