Not this again. This document does not suggest that the United States was intentionally supporting terrorists, just that rebel groups they have been supporting are becoming radicalized, and that Islamists are filling the power vacuum as Assad loses control. Massive fail.
The United States condemned the Syrians and Russians after their successful operations to liberate Tadmur (Playmira) from Islamic State control.
The document states that the "syrian opposition", supported by the West, e.g. Obama and Hillary is AQI, e.g. ISIS
Why did Obama/Hillary continue to supply them weapons, knowing they had been "radicalized" ?

"The West" does not necessarily include the United States, but let's let that pass.

What evidence do you have that the United States continued to supply them with weapons, after this report came out over a year ago?

In other words, you agree with Assad and Putin that anyone in opposition to the regime is a terrorist.

Why are you changing the subject? Once this report came out, did the administration continue to fund the groups that became Islamist? And, to end your diversion, no, I do not think we should be funding anyone, especially in that region. Neither should Russia, if they know what is good for them.
But OK, I will repeat: Yes, the administration did continue to fund these groups, to this day.
I even gave you references.
Russia and some of the NATO members are not funding anyone- they are using air power to blow up Jihadists beheading people.
Should they stop?

You gave me Iranian propaganda. Iran funds terrorists too.
Should they stop?
Yes; the major powers (and Russia and Iran) should let Syria settle their own affairs.
Iranian propaganda ? Where ?
