U.S considering sending arms to Syria: Report

Posted in World by Senior Editor

As news of Syria’s alleged use of chemical weapons continues to spread — The U.S White House is reportedly planning to send arms to Syrian rebels; however officials say no decision is imminent just yet, despite heavy threats from the Obama administration to the Syrian government.

The move previously despised by the Obama administration would mark an almost expected reversal on the President’s part, especially after Bashar Al-Assad upped the ante using chemical weaponry. The Los Angeles Times notes that the administration is also apparently planning to provide non-lethal equipment such as night vision goggles, armor, and other beneficial equipment to rebels in coming days.

“We continue to consider all other possible options that would accomplish our objective of hastening a political transition,” said Caitlin Hayden, spokeswoman for the National Security Council.

Posted in U.S News by Senior Editor

LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS: Reuters confirmed this evening that a massive oil spill in Arkansas (courtesy of Exxon Mobile/Canadian crude products) occurred. The spill reportedly left some 22 homes being evacuated as fears of damages risen.

The spill was detected late Friday in a Mayflower, prompting Exxon Mobile to shut down its Pegasus Pipeline. Officials assured Daily News that the oil has not spilled into any lakes. Critics have already caught wind of the spill, pouncing on the incident — being quoted as saying this is a prime reason the Keystone Pipeline XL should not be finished.
