US support of Syrian Rebels - Non lethal HELP

BBC News: Reports that the US has stated that it will give direct support to the Syrian Rebels, it will give the  Rebels food and medical support. 

Lets Get Real: 

One can assume that the Syrian Rebels will be less than pleased, as the article notes since the revolt started two years ago over seventy thousand Syrians have died and the UN and the Oval has done nothing,  the Syrian Rebels will have seen that Islamic extremists or terrorists are supporting them more, thus when the Assad Regime falls, and it will fall folks the West and the US will not have that much influence in a new Syria, the worry for the Oval and the West must be that Al Qaeda will have great influence in a new Syrian Government,  and thus a threat to Israel and the Middle East.  The question that has to be asked is how many Syrians have to die before the Oval acts, a hundred thousand, a million, at what point does it become a  morale issue that that Oval can not avoid.   This is the time for the Oval to act, time for the Obama Administration to lead the West, and not lead from behind.
