> Assad finally freed the city from the terrorists And Assad is not a terrorist? "We want democracy; here, have a bullet in the head instead". That Wikipedia page says pretty clearly it supported the Free Syrian Army, and that some arms may have accidentally ended up with IS extremists. That is not the same thing as "helped arm, fund, and train" at all. Nour al-Din al-Zenki seems to have gotten some support around 2014/2015. It's not entirely clear to me what the entire story on that is, and the LA Times article doesn't explain it either. You are spectacularly misrepresenting your own links to the point it's exceedingly hard to take this in good faith.
