Not saying I don’t believe you, but could you please provide a reliable source for this?

Ever notice that we can interdict a dhow full of AKs headed to Yemen, but somehow entire ISIS fleets of identical Toyota Hilux pickups and SUVs escaped us?

Interesting, no?

Wrong. Stop making S up. Al Nusra was a Syrian faction of Al Qaeda. It was a Salafist jihadi organization fighting Assad. It never became ISIS, it most often fought with ISIS. However, some of its members defected to ISIS for greater autonomy and profit (booty).

The US funded whomever opposed Assad. So what? Assad is bad news. He funneled thousands of fighters into Iraq to attack Coalition and Iraqi troops. You support and condone that apparently.
