Assad is a Shiite. ISIS and Assad's opposition are Sunni. Which is why the US just gave up on getting Sunnis to fight ISIS, they want to fight Assad.
So why is it in the US interest if Assad is overthrown? That directly appears to benefit ISIS. They are Sunnis and a Sunni government would run Syria, they would not be enemies, which would allow ISIS to devote their anti-Syrian government resources towards Iraq and other fronts.
Whatever the reason, do the Russians have this one right?
