"MR. CARNEY: Well, let me say a couple things. We have been
clear, even though I get this question in a variety of ways, that we cannot
provide details about the timeline or logistics of delivery for every type of
assistance, or catalog specific types of assistance.
But we are in daily contact with the Syrian Military Council to discuss how we can support their needs. And as I said last week, and I can say again today, we are in regular consultation with Congress on matters related to Syria assistance. And the President believes very strongly, as he made clear, that our updated assistance to Syria is essential to helping buttress the opposition as it endures this vicious assault from Bashar al-Assad that is supported -- in a manner that speaks volumes about who he is and who his friends are -- by Hezbollah and Iran."
