There were times when I was in Vietnam → when I found it difficult to tell the difference between allies and the enemy until the shooting started. This was especially true when the Civilian Irregular Defense Group (CIDG) was involved.
FSA = Al-Qaeda. Do you see my point?
See video on this German gov media outlet:
'IS' supply channels through Turkey | DW | 26.11.2014
Read here about the first Battle of Raqqa:
Battle of Raqqa (March 2013) - Wikipedia
So this policy, although loud and distinct flagged as anti-AQ, has benefited AQ-S (And AQ in Iraq, better known as ISIS).
The Redirection

(COMMENT - CONFUSED OPINION)
I don't write much about Syria and rarely engage in discussions about it simply because I've not been there and I don't know a damn thing about it. And when I read Media Accounts and view the Man of the Street Media Accounts, I get the sense that the reports are skewed in favor one side or the other.
I get a sense that you have to be there
(in-country and in-bedded) in order to get a true sense in the difference between those of the RED Force and those of the BLUE Force
(generic terms).
And you are sure to be even further confused when you're dealing with a subject were the Clandestine Collection (CLANC) and Covert Action (COVA) are involved. When you are read-on for the various COVA Projects, it is easy to miss
(entirely) the CLANC elements. It is sort of like the tremors you feel when standing over top of an underground river. You can feel it, sensing an unseen the unseen force. What further complicates the ground truth are elements that look BLUE by day but are really RED by night. And then, there are third party BLUE Forces of a slightly different shade of BLUE.
I stay away from the Syrian topics below the foreign level. Remember, the US Embassy has been
(essentially) for five years. So that leads one to believe that the US Country Team Leader is the Chief of Station. So, what you think you see, may not be what is going on at all. And when they talk about Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), they include the coalition of Kurdish and Arab militias.
As far as the Turkish Border goes, that is even more confusing. While the SDF interdict night smuggling, the day-time confusion of the ultimate destination and client/customer could be COVA or some other special operator. It does not necessarily mean it's going to a RED consignee.
Most Respectfully,
