We don’t fund ISIS or any of the Islamic opposition forces in Syria regardless of what your cited blogger thinks.

To equate US-supplied arms falling into the hands of ISIS as support for them is like saying we supported the Chinese in North Korea by abandoning US equipment at Chosin.

We’ve trained and funded FSA which is a secular group led by former Syrian Army officers. The secular and Islamist groups in Syria frequently fight each other. They do not get along. No one gets along with ISIS and to claim we fund or supply them is ridiculous.
