The guys fighting ISIS actually but you've never really accepted that reality thing have you?

Good. Our support in the middle east has always bolstered terrorists, either intentionally or unintentionally.

I'm
1. Skeptical of this framing of the move as a concession to Russia; it is also something supported by a majority of Americans as of 2013. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DFIBycLXsAIQ2hv.jpg
2. Not knowledgeable enough on Syria to have a strong opinion, but my impression is that a unilateral pullout is bad news for those who would like to see peace and an end to the carnage.

Bashar al-Assad has won in Syria, and so has Putin. There will be more death, more state-sponsored murder, more refugees. This is a shameful day for any and all who love democracy and stand up for human rights.

Correct. However, the policy in question has been aiding Al Qaeda, who are terrorists.

A new report citing former CIA officers has revealed that the agency was knowingly providing weapons, including tow missiles to fighters that were effectively part of al-Qaeda’s Nusra Front, continuing to arm “moderates” so long as they at least nominally kept their moderate names.

No one said all Muslims are terrorists. You need to go to a doctor since you must have hit your head hard and repeatedly.
