The plan, which involved setting up training camps for rebel fighters and directly arming them was being pushed heavily in the summer, but administration officials say it was rejected over fears it would draw the US deeper into the war than it intended. The officials also said they had expected a second major push by Petraeus and Clinton after the election, but Clinton ended up in the hospital and Petraeus ended up resigning in disgrace almost immediately thereafter, so the new push never happened. It may well have been a much different story that time around if it had come up, as President Obama was said to be interested in deferring direct involvement in Syria until after the vote, and his reluctance to escalate too much beforehand may have reflected fear that a new war would be unpopular with voters. http://news.antiwar.com/2013/02/07/pentagon-wanted-to-arm-syrian-rebels/ Pentagon Wanted to Arm Syrian Rebels Posted By John Glaser On February 7, 2013 Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey were in favor of the plan last year put forth by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former CIA Director David Petraeus to arm the Syrian opposition, a plan which was rejected by the White House. The New York Times reported last week that Secretary Clinton, along with Gen. Petraeus, had advocated arming select Syrian rebels in their fight against the Assad regime, but that this was turned down by President Obama. During testimony before the Senate Armed Service Committee on Thursday, Dempsey said both he and Panetta sided with Clinton.

In addition, two of the four men who died in the Sept. 11 attack -- former Navy SEAL commandos Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty -- were actually CIA contractors killed defending the mission, not State Department contract security officers, as originally publicly identified, the officials told several news organizations on condition of anonymity.
