Bad idea.
Quite aside from all other factors, there is the fact that they are on the losing side. That is not the side one wants to back. The Syrian opposition is very disunited, and so never can succeed. Not unless someone else comes in to fight the war for them, like in Libya.

Nothing says “we love you” like arming people who hate us. :)

There is no reason to be involved in this conflict

So the GOP-e, the political Judenrats for the MarxoFascists - have rubber-stamped Obama’s demand that we arm Al Qaeda’s allies in Syria.
Treason.
Our entire Federal Government is now in-league with our avowed Jihadist enemies against We The people, of whom they killed 3,000 on 9-11 and thousands of our troops and civilians since we decided to fight back.
Anyone still stupid enough to think Obama is not a Trojan Horse for Jihadist Islam and every enemy America ever had??
He plans to walk with our enemies on top of our ashes to survey the slaves he leaves alive.

So does this fit into the Al Qaeda prison break in Iraq? Are we going to arm Al Qaeda fighters headed from Iraq into neighboring Syria to fight Assad?
...are there any sane adults in DC to stop this madness??

The House and Senate intelligence committees have approved CIA weapons shipments to opposition fighters in Syria, I now think the government is utterly incapable of doing the right thing. Perhaps this has been true for a long time.

Part of arming the rebels- more like invaders- is uniting them by only arming the strongest faction, AQ and starving the rest or paying them to accept AQ command.

How many of those weapons will end up being used against Western interests in terror attacks? Ironic justice would be for a CODEL to be shot down with the same weapons.

The Moslem-in-Chief is arming his people and his minions in Congress are expediting the project.

The CIA to arm Al CIA Duh? Duh!
We've been doing it for at least 4 decades now.
This would explain our "training exercises" coinciding with their attack schedule!

Nearly a year later and the stupid politicians responsible for the Benghazi "Fast and Furious" gun running operation to the New Syrian Army are back in business again, but this time we're making it public? WTF? Are these politicians on LSD or some other hallucinogen? Let the bloody Muslims kill each other; that's what they've done for 1,400 years -- when they weren't killing everyone else as Infidels!

SECRET program to arm the rebels.... which rebels?

Good point. Trust the CIA to arm the worst of the worst of the worst. Yes, the CIA folks are THAT stupid. Of course, the people to be armed by the CIA will be determined by Obozo and his real “brain”, Valerie Jarrett.

Next, it will be boots on the ground. These people never quit.

Pay attention folks. This is exactly what will happen if Immigration “Reform” gets to committee.
