“I am calling out the article for assuming facts not in evidence.”

Now you are just playing games with words.

You have provided no evidence whatsoever.

You have made one incredulous assumption after another.

First, you assume every fighter the Obama Administration trained was a “secularist” whatever that is supposed to mean.

You assume all of the fighters trained were 100% honest and virtuous and would never lie to the U.S. officials giving them arms, training and whatever else.

You assume anyone who says ISIS was trained and armed in Jordan is automatically lying.

This is just a waste of my time.

We just have to agree to disagree.

I am the only one who isn't.

Here is the word game - the logical fallacy - most of the reasoning here is based on:

America trained some Syrian rebels.
Some Syrian rebels are Islamic terorists.
Therefore, the US trained Islamic terrorists.

This is a basic logical mistake.

I have no obligation to provide evidence. The article is claiming that it is a fact that the US trained ISIL.

It is their burden to prove it, yet they have provided no evidence.
