House Intelligence Committee signs off, with reservations, on administration's call to arm Syrian opposition Jul 23rd 2013, 00:59 The House Intelligence Committee signed off Monday on the Obama administration's call to arm the Syrian opposition, while continuing to voice serious reservations about a policy they'd held up for weeks. Committee chairman Mike Rogers said that despite "very strong concerns about the strength of the administration's plans in Syria and its chances for success" there was "consensus that we could move forward with what the administration's plans and intentions are in Syria consistent with committee reservations." The Intelligence Committee had delayed the administration for weeks from fully implementing its Syria policy, including arming the rebels, Fox News has learned. Fox also confirmed that a majority – but not all – of the Committee members signed off on moving forward with the  plan. It was not immediately clear how the new policy would be funded although money could be "reprogrammed" from other accounts, including possibly the defense spending bill.
