Try again Redress.....although It would take being UP ON what is going on in the Big bad world. Not just playing that pick and choose game you are use to. I don't think there are any single words that can't throw anyone off. At least not how the NY Times explained it from the beginning.
New York Times: CIA officers regulating arms traffic to Syria opposition groups
According to report, U.S. operatives are stationed in southeast Turkey to ensure weapons meant for anti-Assad groups do not fall in hands of groups linked to al-Qaida.
U.S. intelligence officers are secretly operating near Turkey's border with Syria,
in an attempt to ensure that weapons meant for Syrian opposition groups do not end up in militias aligned with al-Qaida, the New York Times reported on Thursday.
According to the report, citing a U.S. official,
a small group of CIA officials are stationed in southeast Turkey, where they regulate the influx of automatic rifles, rocket-propelled grenades, ammunition and anti-tank weapons to the various rebel factions.
Speaking to the New York Times, one Arab intelligence official said that clandestine American attempts were geared at collecting information on the various opposition groups,
as well as "to make new sources and recruit people."
In addition, American officials and retired CIA operatives indicated that the administration of U.S. President Barack Obama was considering other ways of assisting the anti-Assad insurgency, such as satellite imagery and detailed intelligence on Syrian troop locations and movements.....snip~
