"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?

I have a feeling we trained those 5 or 6 guys to send money and weapons to ISIS or whatever jihadi group is in place and make it seem like plausible deniability.
