The US has accused the Syrian government of providing air support to an advance by Islamic State militants against opposition groups north of Aleppo.
Fighters opposing the Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad, have made the same claims since Sunday, when Isis began advancing towards the town of Azaz near the Turkish border.
The seizure of Azaz, 20 miles north-west of Aleppo, would imperil the main opposition supply line into Syria’s biggest city, the rebel-held east of which has been besieged by government forces for more than two years.

So... Syria is helping ISIS attack Syria ?
Assad wants ISIS to destroy Western backed rebels and then the West will help Assad take on ISIS.

Quit asking questions and get on the McCain War Train!
Over 10,000 bombs dropped on Iraq and Syria last year by the U.S. and it’s client despotisms on the Persian gulf.
The only winners in this sell bombs and the loans to buy the bombs.
How would Obama know? At this point, he refuses to send in any air support even to look at what’s going on.
Other way around. Also, I hate them calling this criminal NWO government the US.
I do not believe a word of this Bull Crap put out by Obama’s folks.
