Washington is weighing expanding support for Syrian rebels by having the Pentagon take charge of arming the opposition instead of a clandestine effort by the CIA, officials said Wednesday.

"It's under consideration," said a US official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

"If and how (it would be done) are both questions being discussed," the official told AFP.

Who was in charge of it before? The Dept. of Agriculture? ACORN?

Ambassador Stevens?

The al Nusra Front is Al Qaeda, a short sight worse than the Muslim Brotherhood.

Funny how we will arm the brotherhood or al qaeda, but take your weapons away.

clandestine effort by the CIA = Obama’s illegal gun running operation in Benghazi?

Arms for al-Qaeda... I am truly amazed. And nobody (outside of us right-wing bitter clingers) even so much as peeps in protest.

al Qaeda apparently SUCCESSFULLY bombed the Pentagon into

“Arming your enemies is treason.”

Enemies of whom, the American people or its government?
Increasingly becoming two quite different entities.

...by having the Pentagon take charge of arming the opposition...

So King Zero will come out in the open and just give straight supply of chemical weapons to those who want to kill us after they finish with Syria? Is this his way of trying to give our military a bad name?

Zero is doing a great job of destroying America's credibility overseas. I believe it was all in the plan even before he got elected.

What? The dems would successfuly turn it around politically and say “Iraq gassed 10X as many people (Kurds) while Reagan was in office and he did nothing”. Is that the brilliant point Coulter is making? :-) She will have to do better than that.
