U.S. Aid To Syrian Rebels Delayed By Congress: Report
WASHINGTON, July 8 (Reuters) - Congressional committees are holding up a plan to send U.S. weapons to rebels fighting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad because of fears that such arms deliveries will not be decisive and might end up in the hands of Islamist militants, five U.S. national security sources said.

None of the military aid that the United States announced weeks ago has arrived in Syria, according to an official from an Arab country and Syrian opposition sources.
Democrats and Republicans on the committees worry that weapons could reach factions like the Nusra Front which is one of the most effective rebel groups but has also been labeled by the United States as a front for al Qaeda in Iraq.

After hearing details from Kerry, members of both intelligence committees expressed dissatisfaction with the plan, the sources said.

This is good news. It would be amazing for anyone in the congress or the administration to advocate sending weapons to al Qaeda.
