WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. officials say the CIA has been delivering light machine guns and other small arms to Syrian rebels for several weeks, following President Barack Obama’s decision to arm the rebels.

The agency has also arranged for the Syrian opposition to receive anti-tank weaponry like rocket-propelled grenades through a third party, presumably one of the Gulf countries that has been arming the rebels, according to a senior U.S. intelligence official and two former intelligence officials. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the classified program publicly.

The four in Benghazi were probably killed with the very same weapons they were supplying the terrorists.

What 0bama has done in Libya, Egypt and now Syria is an extension of what he's doing here; the War on Christianity. Christians are the greatest obstacle to implementation of global Marxism where 'God' IS the government and the government IS God.

It must really SUCK to be a U.S. government servant who is Christian and asked to assist in the killing of Christians. Clinton did the same thing in Bosnia. He helped the Muslim Kosovoans KILL the Christian Serbs. Pres. Bush did indeed go after Muslim extremists in the war on terror, but 0bama changed our Rules of Engagement (ROE) to BENEFIT the terrorists. This explains why 72% of all combat casualties SINCE THE START OF THE WAR in Afghanistan happened under 0bama's 4 year watch, compared to 8 years under Bush.
