US general: Syria too complex to give lethal aid
A senior US military commander says the situation in Syria is too complicated right now to provide opposition forces with lethal aid. Marine Corps Gen. James Mattis, the top officer at US Central Command, cited concerns that US enemies might wind up with weapons that are given to the rebels fighting Syrian President Bashar Assad.
Assad's support is eroding daily, Mattis said during testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee. (AP)
