Oh, we're for sure supporting Islamic extremist groups in both those conflicts, no argument there. In Libya that really bit the West in the ass as relatively secular Tauregs were armed to help overthrow Qaddafi, then allied with Islamists in common cause but then were bumped aside & losing many of their weapons to the extremists who had bigger ideological goals. Hence the trouble in Mali and Algeria.
In Syria they're funded by many many sources, including multiple Sunni nations, to say they're fully under US/West control is ridiculous. The cat's out of the bag at this point, they're not just going to go home. There's no easy answer to the mess over there right now.
