McCain right about hole in ISIS plan

Word. 
Those leftists whose McCain bashing pisses on the Syrian
people are not a pretty sight, but that doesn't mean I have to agree
with any of his other foreign policy positions.
"I usually disagree with John McCain about foreign policy. He is the
nation's foremost advocate of a muscular U.S. role in the world. I'm
generally skeptical of U.S. involvement in foreign conflicts and disputes.
However, McCain does have a point, and a very important one, about
an incongruity in the announced Obama administration approach to
 fighting the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.
The administration is vague about this, but the clear inference is that the
 United States plans to assist FSA when it fights ISIS and try to stay out
 of its fight with Assad.
This has problems, logically and practically. If the United States is counting
 on FSA to be the force that ultimately "destroys" ISIS, how can we
 stand aside while Assad's forces diminish its fighting capability? And
 if we are providing air support to FSA fighting ISIS in Syria, how can
 we not provide air cover for it against attacks from Assad's forces?
McCain's preference, of course, is for the United States to go all in and
 provide FSA the training, equipment and air support needed to prevail
 against both ISIS and Assad."
