EU Arms Embargo Ends

http://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/aljazeeraworld/2013/04/2013415114923968435.html

It seems they didn't so much vote to lift the embargo, as they failed to come up with the votes to maintain it. But it's off on 1 June and the sanctions against Assad remain in place.

This will place even more pressure on the Obama administration (as did Senator McCain's surprise call on the rebels inside Syria). 

I guess this is all part and parcel of "leading from behind."
