Obama Now Open to Arming Syrian Rebels

Would be his latest flip-flop

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19 (UPI) — President Barack Obama is open to reversing himself and deciding to arm vetted Syrian rebel fighters, senior administration officials told The New York Times.

The possible U-turn comes as Obama has no clear strategy to resolve the crisis and apparently shrinking options for speeding Syrian President Bashar Assad's exit, the newspaper said.
