Putin is targeting the same groups that ISIS targests. So yes there are forces fighting Assad that are not loyal to the Islamists.
Who are those groups? AFAIK, we only trained a handful (6-8) of Syrian rebels (according to Jean Kerri) at a cost of $500 million or so. What other groups, other than ISIS, is Obama supporting with cash and equipment?

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
