Obama signs bill to train, arm, Syrian rebels against ISIS

WASHINGTON President Obama on Friday signed into law legislation authorizing the military to arm and train moderate Syrian rebels fighting Islamic State militants in the Middle East.

Obama acted a day after a Senate vote capped congressional action on the request, which passed by wide margins despite reservation about whether his strategy will do enough to stop the surging terrorist group, which has seized large swaths of Iraq and Syria. Congress will revisit the issue after the midterm elections.

Thursday's bipartisan 78-22 tally Thursday blended support from Obama's close Democratic allies and some of his fiercest GOP critics, including top Senate Republican Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. It put leading contenders for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination on opposite sides. Some of Obama's liberal allies defected.

The legislation also provides funding for the government after the end of the budget year on Sept. 30, eliminating any threat of a shutdown in the run-up to November elections that will seat a new House and decide control of the Senate. The House approved the bill on Wednesday.

Obama said Thursday that the support from both Republicans and Democrats "shows the world that Americans are united" in combating the Islamic State group. He said the militants thought they could frighten or intimidate Americans, but the Senate vote had showed them they were wrong.

"As Americans, we do not give in to fear," Obama said. "We pull together. We stand together."

U.S. troops would train Syrian rebels at camps in Saudi Arabia, though the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Martin Dempsey, said it could take a year before they would return to the battlefield in Syria. The arm-and-train authority only extends into December, and lawmakers are to revisit the issue in a postelection, lame-duck session.

Supporters of the proposal agreed that more has to be done to combat Islamic State extremists who are on the move in Iraq and Syria and shocked the world by beheading two American journalists and a British aid worker. The U.S. estimates the extremists can muster 20,000 to 31,500 fighters across Syria and Iraq, with two-thirds of them in Syria and the rest in Iraq. Terrorism experts say they are better organized and more dangerous than al-Qaida, which is lending urgency to the effort.

But opponents of Obama's strategy say it would hand weapons to shadowy groups that could prove untrustworthy and whose top priority is to topple Syrian President Bashar Assad.

"Intervention when both choices are bad is a mistake. Intervention when both sides are evil is a mistake. Intervention that destabilizes the Middle East is a mistake," said Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who is considering a run for the White House in 2016. "And yet, here we are again, wading into a civil war."

Obama, others launch effort to reduce college sexual violence

President Obama and other federal officials are scheduled to launch a campaign Friday aimed at encouraging more college students, especially men, to prevent sexual violence.

The effort will be known as "It's on Us" and will team with media companies, including video game makers, and celebrities to raise awareness of sexual violence on campus and increase prevention, according to White House officials.

The NCAA will also support the campaign and will start showing public service announcements this weekend, the officials said.

The campaign is part of the White House's focus on reducing sexual assault on college campuses. Obama and other officials appointed a task force to examine the issue earlier this year, and the group made several recommendations earlier this summer, including requiring campuses to publicly disclose more types of sexual violence and harassment.

Over the last three years, the U.S. Department of Education has launched more investigations, released more guidelines, received more complaints and issued more fines against universities for faulty reporting of sexual misconduct and harassment than ever before. Several public and private colleges in California are under investigation by the Education Department after complaints were filed by students and others alleging that the schools' mishandled their cases.

UC officials unveiled a plan calling for mandatory training for all students, staff and faculty, improved support for victims and more thorough investigations earlier this week.
