Maybe, but from the article: "The Senate panel backed the administration on some personnel benefits and a 1-percent pay raise for the military, while breaking with the administration by sparing the A-10 Warthog close-support plane and an aircraft carrier. Certain to frustrate the administration was a provision that would authorize the military to train and equip vetted Syrian rebels battling forces loyal to President Bashar Assad."
I won't be holding my breath, but I definitely see a ray of light.
