U.S. To Send $70 Million In 'Non-Lethal' Aid To Syrian Opposition [AKA ISIS]

"The U.S. State Department said on Friday it was working with Congress to provide about $70 million in new 'non-lethal' assistance to the Syrian opposition fighting President Bashar al-Assad. The aid comes as the U.S. military separately prepares to train and equip Syrian rebels to fight Islamic State militants in Syria. The 'non-lethal' aid, announced on the fourth anniversary of the [CIA-backed] revolution against Assad, brings total U.S. support to the Syrian opposition to nearly $400 million since the start of the revolution, the State Department said."
