ROME — The Obama administration is providing $100 million in new Syria aid, U.S. officials said Wednesday, but the money is for humanitarian purposes only and not linked to any decision on arming Syrian rebels.
The announcement will be made by Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday in Rome, where his diplomacy includes a meeting with Jordan’s foreign minister, the officials said.
The new funds will help support 1.4 million Syrian refugees, including many in U.S. ally Jordan, and hundreds of thousands of other civilians still trapped by the violence inside Syria’s border. Total U.S. humanitarian assistance in the two-year war will climb to $510 million.

How about giving back to American taxpayers; who under Obunghole earn significantly less money than before that cretin ever stole an election...
This must be part of the Gas for Syria program. The UN loves population reduction

“but the money is for humanitarian purposes only and not linked to any decision on arming Syrian rebels. “
Suuuuure it is.
In the meantime our soldiers get a pay cut.
Right.....?
These people spend money like crazy. Where do they come up with these numbers.
Oh, so we are going to underfumd the war to keep everyone distracted.
Nice
Here’s an idea! Let’s send taxpayer dollars to the Islamoterrorists!
More money the bearded savages will use to kill and maim.
Gee, it is truly amazing . . . this money is NOT affected by the “sequester”. Wonder why? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm . . . very interesting indeed.
Where exactly does the Obama Administration have this $100 million to give away?
Congress is still very derelict in their duty.
Very nice of Mr Kerry, but then, God knows he can afford to write the check.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

I wonder how much of that money will come back to us as IEDs and foreign-trained terrorists?
