Washington (CNN) -- Reluctant approval from Congress for providing military support to Syrian rebels allows the Obama administration to move forward with plans first announced almost six weeks ago.
White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters on Tuesday that the goal of the military aid expected to include small arms, ammunition and perhaps anti-tank weapons is to keep the Syrian opposition going against forces aligned with President Bashar al-Assad's regime.

It's a freaking mess. I have a hard time not imagining a humanitarian effort of some sort to thwart such madness- especially in light of news such as this.
A generation of people's lives destroyed with violence and mayhem.
We won the lottery of life born and living where we do. Imagine the legitimate fear those people face. I think the risks we see them take to escape their reality speaks to the horrors they are exposed to.
Maybe it's time for the old school stuff
"It turns out that only 60 of these fighters have been properly trained, and as few as four or five people actually carry weapons," he said. "The rest of them have deserted with the American weapons to join ISIS," he said referring to Islamic State.
