The US is looking to dramatically broaden the definition of “non-lethal support” as it relates to Syria’s rebel factions, according to European officials familiar with recent private meetings with Secretary of State John Kerry.
Expanding the definition, the US is poised to shift policy toward providing body armor, direct combat training and even armored personnel carriers to rebel factions, as it continues to help Saudi Arabia and other nations deliver the weaponry behind the ongoing rebellion.
Specific details about the plan, to the extent they are ever revealed to the public at all, are likely to come during this week’s Rome conference for the various Syrian rebel factions, which Kerry has been hyping and encouraging rebel groups to attend.
The EU is set to get in on the action as well, with officials claiming a secret clause was inserted into the renewal of a ban on arms to Syria to allow virtually anything that doesn’t in and of itself kill people, including night-vision goggles and sniper scopes, to be sent as “non-lethal aid” for their “humanitarian” mission.
As I have predicted here repeatedly over many months…
Next up: direct foreign military intervention sometime this year.
If this is true, then Assad's forces have every right in defense of their country, to intercept, attack and destroy this "aid", including those providing it. But the Syrian army will probably never be able to get near them, since the US will no doubt ship into Syria via Israel. How many Russian or Iranian submarines are in the Med, I wonder?

England, Israel and USA governments been in business of terrorizing the world for last 65 years.., it is them (us and England) who are in business of cop de Etta in many countries and it is them who are war mongers looking to implement their falsified democracy while stealing people's wealth where they have their puppets placed., Syria, Iraq, and Iran is what Paul Wolfowitz planed in 1990 Obama and Cameron just following the plan.
And all those arms that are going from Libya to Turkey?
Weapons don't kill people, people kill people. So technically, anything that is not a human, is non-lethal. So send anything you want, just don't send people.
