Until this new GFY revelation, Obama has specifically stated that he thinks the weapons could fall into the wrong hands. Obama has so far been very much against arming the Syrian Rebels and instead just been sending them aid..

I think you guys have your whipping boy mistaken because it's John McCain and the right, whom has been making a big fuss about how the US should arm the Syrian Rebels. McCain went as far as to sneak into Syria to meet with the Rebels just last week trying to force the issue into US politics with his typical self serving grandstanding.



yes there has been talks about Arming them, which of course there naturally would be in that kind of situation. However it's mostly the EU that is trying to push the US to arm them.

Obama up til now has taken a wait and see approach, which honestly I can't blame him. It's the Right in the US and the EU whom are pushing hard for us to arm them.
