Congresswoman Calls on US Gov’t to Stop Supporting Terrorist Groups
2017-03-03
[ENGLISH.ALMANAR.LB] US Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard
(D-Hawaii since 2013)
said that The United States should stop aiding Syrian opposition groups affiliated with Takfiri
...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed...
terrorist groups.

"For years, our government has been providing both direct and indirect support to these armed Death Eater groups, who are working directly with or under the command of terrorist groups like al-Qaeda and ISIS, all in their effort and fight to overthrow the Syrian government. Our bill [HR608] does a simple thing and it says that our tax payers dollars should not be used to provide arms, money, intelligence or other types of support to Death Eater groups who are working with, allied with terrorist groups like al-Qaeda and ISIS," Gabbard told the RT broadcaster, referring to Takfiri groups.
That pretty much leaves the Kurds and their allies.
The Stop Arming Terrorists Act (HR608), which prohibits the use of federal agency funds to provide assistance to any individual or group affiliated with terrorists, was introduced to the Congress in January.

The bill accused the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of arming groups allied with the al-Qaeda terrorist organization in an effort to overthrow the Syrian government of Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
Terror of Aleppo ...
In January, Gabbard traveled to Syria with a fact-finding mission, which included a meeting with Assad and a trip to Aleppo, liberated from turbans in late 2016.
