Seymour Hersh: USA Joint Chiefs of Staff indirectly supported Assad to help him defeat jihadists

While much is said about the ISIS and its heinous crimes against humanity and USA apparently trying to undo Assad's government in Syria, here is yet another revelation by none other than Pulitzer-winning veteran journalist Seymour Hersh who says the USA's Joint Chiefs of Staff has indirectly supported Bashar al-Assad in an effort to help him defeat jihadist groups.

According to Hersh the Joint Chiefs sent intelligence via Russia, Germany and Israel on the understanding it would be transmitted to help Assad push back Jabhat al-Nusra and the Islamic State. 

What is more interesting is that the military even undermined a U.S. effort to arm Syrian rebels in a bid to prove it was serious about helping Assad fight their common enemies.
