(excerpt)
As Mr. Obama considered new strikes, the White House began its diplomatic campaign to enlist allies and neighbors in the region to increase their support for Syria’s moderate opposition and, in some cases, to provide support for possible American military operations. The countries likely to be enlisted include Australia, Britain, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates, officials said.
The officials, who asked not be named discussing sensitive internal deliberations, said they expected that Britain and Australia would be willing to join the United States in an air campaign. The officials said they also wanted help from Turkey, which has military bases that could be used to support an effort in Syria.
good news!
The title really ought to read "Arms flow to Iraqi Shiites increases". Because the Kurds appear to be getting nothing, and will continue to get nothing as long as the Iraqi government is the middleman.
Well gosh, they forgot to put in the name of the U.S.
