US bombing of ISIS inadvertently aided the Assad regime

Evidence

ISIS is fighting the Shiite-dominated Iraqis and the Syrian rebels while seizing territory for their caliphate. The United States is bombing ISIS, and that unintentionally helps Assad and provides support to the Syrian rebels. The Sunnis in Iraq were caught amid the Shiite-dominated government that they distrusted and feared, Iran-backed Shiite militias that attack Sunnis with impunity, and ISIS militants who rule captured territory with their own brutal version of Islamic law. — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 2465
