Now you are just playing games with words.

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.

You have provided no evidence whatsoever.

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.

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

Please don't mischaracterize what I said.

This is what I said in your format.

The U.S. government armed and trained fighters in Jordan who they assumed intended to overthrow the Syrian government.

Some of these fighters were Islamic terrorists and members of radical organizations.

AND

Jordanian officials said some of these fighters who were armed and trained were ISIS.

Therefore it is probable(not certain) that the U.S. government armed and trained ISIS.
