And, evidence builds that we were supplying the ISIS groups with arms and money...while saying we were supporting the "Good Guys" for Rebels against the Anti-Assad Regime. We relied on faulty RW/PNAC (& the Other Think Tank's) as to Who the Good Guys Were and made the Bad Guys Targets. When, in fact, it may well have been the other way around as to what our Intelligence REALLY WAS!
