Even the Pentagon is saying these weapons are likely to end up in Al Nusra Front’s hands.

A day after President Obama was criticized for hedging on reports of chemical weapons being used in Syria’s civil war, the White House left open the possibility Wednesday that the U.S. would provide weaponry soon to opposition groups.

“I’m not ruling that out; I’m just not ruling it in, either,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “We have not and are not providing weapons to the Syrian opposition, but we are continuing to review our options.”

Rebel groups have been locked in a two-year war with the regime of Bashar al-Assad that has killed an estimated 70,000 civilians. The Obama administration told Congress last week that it has evidence of chemical weapons being used in Syria, a development that Mr. Obama has said he wouldn’t tolerate, calling it a “game changer.” […]

Mr. Carney said the administration is trying to associate itself with rebel groups who “do not oppose U.S. interests.”

“And that is a process that’s ongoing,” he said. “So we have learned more about the opposition, we have worked more closely with the opposition, we have stepped up our aid and assistance to the opposition, and these evaluations are ongoing.”
