I'm not really sure how to respond to such an asinine post. Try meditating for a while and you might come up with answer to your question.

Where does Wesley Clark say that the United States will deliberately covertly fund terrorist groups in Syria?

Translation: You cannot find a reliable source that backs up your claim. Presstv and RT.com issue unsubstantiated claims that are reprinted verbatim by globalresearch, EU Times, beforeitsnews and all the other sites that disseminate propaganda tailored for the conspiracy theory crowd. This then looks like multiple sources confirming your bias.
You have been challenged to back up your claim using multiple, reliable sources, to examine the credibility of those sources, and to apply critical thinking to the claims they make. Do not lecture about the process, do it. If you make a claim, it is your responsibility to support it with evidence, and no-one else's. If you are unwilling or unable to back up your claim, please withdraw it.

Sorry but I disagree. Just because they did something once, doesn't automatically mean they do it again.
I know it's the conspiracy theorists main go to, this leap in logic, but you need to fill that 20-30 year gap with something more substantial.

Where does Wesley Clark say that the United States will deliberately covertly fund terrorist groups in Syria?
A WikiLeaks released memo from the United States Secretary of State sent in 2009 asserted that the primary source of funding of Sunni terrorist groups worldwide was Saudi Arabia.[76]
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, IPA /ˈaɪsəl/), alternatively translated the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria or Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS, i/ˈaɪsɨs/),[28] s a Salafi jihadist militant group that adheres to an Islamic fundamentalist, Wahhabi doctrine of Sunni Islam
When in October 2004, al-Zarqawi swore loyalty to Osama bin Laden, he renamed the group again to Tanẓīm Qāʻidat al-Jihād fī Bilād al-Rāfidayn
In January 2006, AQI merged with several other Sunni insurgent groups to form the Mujahideen Shura Council.[57] After al-Zarqawi was killed in June 2006, the Mujahideen Shura Council merged in October 2006 with several more insurgent factions to establish ad-Dawlah al-ʻIraq al-Islāmiyah, also known as the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI),[58] led by Abu Omar al-Baghdadi and Abu Ayyub al-Masri,[59] who were killed in a US–Iraqi operation in April 2010, being succeeded by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as the group's new leader
The civil war in Syria, whose Alawite regime Saudi Arabia's Sunny monarchy has long plotted against, and the prospect of a war with Shiite Iran over its reported drive to acquire nuclear weapons, preoccupy Riyadh while, Abdallah, Canute-like, strives to keep the democratic wave from breaking on its shores.
His elevation to chief of Saudi Arabia's vast intelligence network, and the unlimited funds it controls, came only one day after the embattled Damascus regime was battered by the loss of four of President Bashar Assad's most important security chiefs in a bombing inside the heavily guarded national security headquarters.

So Ignore the current Potus downplaying the threat of ISIS.
Calling them the 'JV' team.
I lost track of how many military advisors got canned.
Skipping the majority of his PDB's.
And just take a pot shot at the op.
Bad form.
Bad form.
