So you naturally assumed that the opposite must be true.

Taking into account that you have no idea what ISIS is actually in control of, their command structure, their production capabilities, their combat readiness, number of troops, supplies, weapons, reserves, money.....

...how would you even know if they're on the back foot or not?
The rebels trained by the US aren't the only 'moderates' in Syria. Have never been.
Oh, please do share...
