One of the major critiques of Obama in Syria is that he didn't arm the moderate Muslims quick enough in order to fight Assad. As a result other extreme groups came in. The conservative National Review writes.

Of course conservatives lambasted him when he did decide to arm moderates in Syria.

Of course we know there is no sincerity from these folks in their remarks. They're coming from an epicenter of "WAHH!! OBAMA WON..I DON'T LIKE IT."...and not an epicenter of..."What's the best choice?" Just look at how they contradict themselves.
Anyways, I have another question.
Now that Obama is fighting ISIS, is Syria's Assad the moderate ally we've been looking for?
Assad is fighting ISIS too.
So what's my point?
My point is that all arguments about arming "moderates" in Syria, and in the region are total hog wash.
Each sect is evil.
The fact that Mccain and others threw a fit about Obama finally arming "moderates" proves my point.
Instead of trying to figure out which evil sect we give guns, how about finding out ways not to give any of them guns?
So actually Obama contributed to the rise of ISIS in three ways: (1) by not arming more moderate Syrian opposition groups early; (2) by not securing the Iraqi-Syrian border to guard against ISIS expansion; and (3) by withdrawing from Iraq too soon, leaving much of Iraq defenseless and Iraq’s Sunnis caught in a cross-fire.
Of course conservatives lambasted him when he did decide to arm moderates in Syria.
A group of lawmakers, most prominently Sen. John McCain, lambasted the White House’s plan to help ‘moderate insurgents’ during a Capitol Hill hearing.
