It looks like the U.S. government will give serious thought this week to arming Syrian rebel groups, days after Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's forces re-captured the key city of Qusair. Secretary of State John Kerry, according to an AP report, has pushed back his mideast trip this week because the White House is planning to discuss sending weapons to some rebel groups.

Kerry was supposed to go to Israel and Palestine to hack away at a peace plan for the region. But, perhaps because Syria's situation became even more pressing this week, the Associated Press's sources say that reported trip is off, for now. They're reportedly going to discuss at least two more drastic interventions in the conflict, with one much more likely than the other:

How about just let Assad win and kill off 1/2 of Al Qaeda in the process?

Since the new Ambassador will not carry Kerry's water, he will have to sell arms in a fast and furious nature. Do they have oil or something??

Kerry and Zawahri are on the same team. Thats what the Benghazi arms sales were all about. The murder of the US Ambassador by the State Dept/White house was just a little hiccup in the expanding war plan for taking over Syria by AQ. That way they can directly hit and wipe out Israel.

Mesta...I”m past believing this Gov. cares about Christians...or any other Gov. for that matter. ..and why would Kerry even consider...he’s such a robot all he does is what he’s told to do and say...and that poorly I might add. He remains all about his image...that will never change.
