| U.S. uses Syrian rebel supply lines as it prepares to send arms |

| Didn't they try this back home? Called it something like Quick'n'Angry...Anyone remember how that worked out? WASHINGTON (Rooters) - The United States has quietly been testing the Syrian opposition's ability to deliver food rations, medical kits and money to rebel-held areas as Washington prepares to send arms to the rebel fighters. Lots of logistical "testing" since Benghazi, one would assume. I don't think anyone's ever had trouble 'delivering' money... U.S. officials meet weekly in Turkey with Syrian opposition leaders to work out how best to keep supply lines open to rebel fighters and war-ravaged towns and districts. Ah yes, the old personal meeting with the Turk embassy fellow again. One of the Syrian opposition's best-known female The diplaced, councils, fighters....What differences does it make, and thanks for outing me fokwads ? Supplies are handed to officers of the moderate Free Syrian Army (FSA) at clandestine locations that cannot be divulged for security reasons. "Moderate" meaning.... non-cannibal ? "I sign the paperwork, and shake the hands of the FSA official," said a U.S. State Department official involved in the effort. "I wish them well and walk away." Lucky you, State Dept. person. The rebels take aid for their own units and also distribute some of it to schools, clinics and local councils. At least that's what they tell me they're doing with it. |

| #2 Whatever happened to Reuters' quote marks? They always used lots of quote marks. Now we just see "non-lethal aid". Surely "rebel" deserves them too. |
