The House Rules Committee Wednesday evening released an amendment to the continuing resolution (CR) that would authorize funding to train and arm the moderate opposition in Syria.

House Armed Services Committee Chairman Buck McKeon (R-Calif.) offered the seven-page amendment, which House lawmakers will start debating on Tuesday.

It would require Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel to submit the administration's plan for training the moderate opposition 15 days before the commencement of any such activities, an aide said.

There is some interesting language in the bill. He is proposing that Syrian Troops must be "vetted" before training. Well, we "vetted" Afganistan troops and they still turned against us.
