That's right, it's a done deal. More taxpayer money is being sent over to the Middle East in the form of weapons. Apparently Barry is enlisting the help of "moderate" armed rebels who are fighting Assad to fight ISIS. It works like this, in order to distinguish a moderate Syrian rebel who is fighting Assad and a crazy ISIS Syrian rebel fighting Assad, a big "M" must be seen on the back of their shirt which stands for moderate.
My guess is Obama will have his way and Assad will finally be overthrown, giving ISIS the opportunity to become even more powerful in the region.
Since when has this ever worked? It's like another Bay of Pigs all over again, only, the weapons will probably wind up in the hands of ISIS.

The US government is full of morons.
If you want to destroy a barn, just light a match and watch is all burn to the ground.
Assad is the next match to be lit, and these Syrian rebels are being armed to do just that.

Obama wants to arm jihadists. He can directly arm the more 'moderate' jihadists or the more 'extremist' jihadists indirectly by putting the arms in the region to simply be taken.
In either case, Obama and the US government are simply arming jihadists.
I suppose it depends on their goal.
