Assad and his whole family are pieces of shyt…not sure I follow what this thread is suggesting
We have literally armed the "former" al-Qaeda "rebels," we have un-designated them as terrorists, we control NATO, Turkey has been an intelligence outpost of the U.S. state department for the last few decades, and pressure has been mounted by Israel (U.S. outpost in every sense of the word)
Assad was a bad and his regime was horrific.
The United States, Turkey and Israel have spent decades trying to overthrow his regime, end any resistance to Israel's occupation and control of the Golan Heights, crush all resistance by the Palestinians, and stop any remaining vestige of third-world resistance to U.S. hegemony in the region - which Assad occasionally provided a roadblock to.

Yes, this was a decade ago when the civil war just started and the opposition to Assad was made up of many different groups, not just Islamists. I'm asking about the U.S. arming the main rebel group that just took over.
You've got me - we still designate them a terrorist group - even easier to sever ourselves from them after the state descends into chaos after we funnel hundreds of millions of dollars to themStill designated as a terrorist group.
