Washington (CNN) -- President Barack Obama has signed a covert directive authorizing U.S. support for Syrian rebels battling President Bashar al-Assad's forces, U.S. officials told CNN on Wednesday.

The secret order, referred to as an intelligence "finding," allows for clandestine support by the CIA and other agencies.
It was unclear when the president signed the authorization for Syria, but the sources said it was within the past several months.

I bet though, that AFTER the election, he'll have more flexibility to deal w/ the Russians on this matter as well.

Mr Nobel Peace Prize is really living up to his reputation, huh ??
