Sounds like the rebel groups most in line with Western values just got pushed out of one of their bases by more Islamist rebels, who might have grabbed some of their weapons. Essentially, since the groups we support the most lost a minor battle, we'll give them less weapons and equipment, thus decreasing their influence even more, and making it even less likely that the end result of this war will be a government that has any interest in democracy.
God knows we have plenty of reasons for being weary of supporting causes in the middle east, but the more we step away, the more the fight will be between Russian, Chinese, and Iranian backed dictators and Saudi, Al-Quada, and other Sunni extremist backed Islamic fundamentalists.
