Updated at 8:14 a.m. ET: President Barack Obama has signed a so-called "intelligence finding" authorizing covert aid to the Syrian rebels seeking to depose Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his government, NBC News has confirmed.
White House and intelligence officials declined to comment on a Reuters report about the aid.
A U.S. official also said that while Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said the U.S., is providing non-lethal aid and communications to the rebels, the presidential finding provides more intelligence resources than had been previously known.

The administration has been under constant criticism for months from Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and others who say the administration should be arming the rebels.
This is what Obama meant by “transparency”!
When a leak of secret intelligence findings or about operations will help your image or answer criticism about your inaction or policy, then you give a reporter the information.
Given Che, and given Cuba, Che probably had many sons that look like Obama.
Really? Not me, I WONDER how many libs and leftists, who I won’t name, probably had a nano-second of “woo-hoo” in support of islam on 09/11/01. This probably sounds unbelievable to many, yet on 09/10/01 the events of the next day would have sounded unbelievable to those same folks. According to liberals and leftists, it is important to ask such questions, unless of course it is about them. haha
I am very skeptical of the motivations of our elected and appointed officials.
Don’t worry Grampa. I won’t tell a soul.

I guess that means they are moving their Fast and Furious team to Turkey.
MI Ping.
Not so secret now. . . . .
“I guess that means they are moving their Fast and Furious team to Turkey.”
Turkey said, “No Thanks!”
“When a leak of secret intelligence findings or about operations will help your image or answer criticism about your inaction or policy, then you give a reporter the information.”
Right out the Jimmy Carter playbook on how to weaken America while being a liberal president.
Secret? Like he won’t let us know about it?
