US propaganda outlets acknowledge US aid to Syrian rebels helps al Qaeda affiliated groups.

"According to Reuters and A.P. field reports and the New York Times, the United States support of rebels in Syria is directly benefitting the Al Nusra Front, which is allied with Al-Qaeda."

Others have been reporting this for a year or more.

"In fact, Al Nusra has become the de facto leaders of the entire rebel movement, international news media accounts indicate. Moaaz Al-Khateeb, the US designated leader of the Syrian opposition groups has said the US made a “grave mistake” listing Al-Nusra as a terrorist group. He called the jihadis the backbone of the rebellion."

So this guy believes just because they are allied with al Qaeda doesn't make them a terrorist group.

"Social media updates streaming in from Syrian youth reporters, confirm the atrocities being perpetrated against the Syrian civilian population by jihadis. The American situation in Syria and indeed the entire region has turned into a dangerous conundrum, or worse."

Our government is funding arming those atrocities. We're the stupidest people in the world for empowering the most violent government in the world.

"According to White House correspondent, Neil Munroe;   ”[It’s] a risky policy, because the administration has inadvertently helped jihadi-allied Islamist groups gain weapons and power in Libya, Egypt and Mali.”"

It was by design, not inadvertent. US central planners knew who they were funding and arming.

"White House Spokesman Jay Carney has tried to back away from the Al-Nusra group after news reports made public their Al-Qaeda affiliations, but the blowback from the other groups was less than helpful."

That shows they knew what they were doing. They just hoped their propagandists wouldn't report it, but they were finally forced to because everybody else was reporting it.

"Ruth Sherlock, reporting for the British Daily Telegraph reports; “Syrian rebels defy US  and pledge allegiance to Jihadi group.”"

Nice job, government.
