    Yes. And who do you think these U.S. advisors were helping, really? The Syrian army? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-hughes/us-support-for-al-qaeda-l_b_10089410.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-hughes/us-support-for-... http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/comment/america-siding-with-terrorists-like-al-nusra-its-not-a-conspiracy-theory-10319370.html http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/comment/america-siding-w... http://www.reuters.com/article/us-mideast-crisis-usa-equipment-idUSKCN0RP2HO20150926 http://www.reuters.com/article/us-mideast-crisis-usa-equipme... http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/715977/al-nusra-us-arming-jihadists-syria http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/715977/al-nusra-us-armin...

      > And who do you think these U.S. advisors were helping, really? The Syrian army? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syrian_Democratic_Forces https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syrian_Democratic_Forces Your four links show zero cases of the US supporting Al Nusra. One's talking about how in the chaos the lines between groups get blurred, one's random op-ed spitballing from a newspaper owned by a Russian oligarch, one's talking about a rebel group negotiating for safe passage (six pickup trucks and some ammo - having to include that really helps make my point), and the last is claiming that the US supporting UAE/Saudis means the US is supporting Al Nusra.
