So you want to deny that Obozo bombed Assad's forces and armed the rebels???Are you kidding??? Obama was too busy helping the Syrian rebels like Al Nusra (Al Qaeda for the uninformed) try to take out Assad as part of Obozo's "Arab Spring"...How many times do you have to read it before it sinks in?
DESTROY every piece of American military equipment that ISIS stole as it was transported across the desert. At the time it was widespread knowledge that they had major convoys rolling across the desert with both men & American equipment in mass.
But I'm sure your revisionist historical Obama rose tinted glasses will overlook those MAJOR details.
Now Russia is saying Assad is staying, so it looks like Obungles lost his illegal war...
This basically puts on display the shallow thinking of conservative state craft.
It's pretty amazing.
President Obama OKs Shipment of Arms to Al-Qaeda in Syria
There was initial support for some of these groups until it was discovered that members of "Al-Qaeda" (Which in itself is quite convoluted) were filtering in and out of these groups. That support was promptly stopped to the absolute chagrin of folks like Lindsey Graham and John McCain.
It's a very complex and volatile situation that was initiated by multiple factors, not the least of which, was the invasion of Iraq, the ouster of the Baathists and the execution of Saddam Hussein.
In any case, most of you folks have no more interest in this than as a cudgel to continue bashing this administration, which, had, nothing whatsoever to do with the turmoil.

Obama and other western leaders have tried such a huge effort to overturn the ME into a Sunni only zone it makes one breathless.
How should it have worked out?
What is your alternative reality and how would you have achieved it?
