President Barack Obama pledged on Wednesday to ramp up support for the moderate opposition in Syria's civil war, but U.S. officials said the effort was in its early stages and would need approval from Congress for any U.S. military role. U.S. officials said later on Wednesday that the White House wanted to work with Congress to obtain the authority necessary for the U.S. military to support the moderate Syrian opposition with equipment or training. The United States is already giving some military assistance to the Syrian opposition, but it has **t disclosed how much. The U.S. military's role has been to pass on **n-lethal aid.
