Fueling up the rebels in Syria who have already gotten their ass kicked by ISIS doesn't seem like the optimal plan to me. The US couldn't trust those groups a year ago with the same task, why all of a sudden now? You are jumping dumping arms onto the black market if you do that. Outfitting the Kurds and bolstering Jordan makes much more sense. Either way though, I hope the administration and the hawks do not say something stupid like they will never put boots onthe ground- because in the end, you don't finish anything like this off without doing so. Would just be a false promise.
