This photo taken Feb. 27, 2013 shows Secretary of State John Kerry arriving at the Foreign Ministry in Paris. The U.S. is moving closer to direct involvement in Syria’s civil war with the delivery of non-lethal assistance directly to the rebels fighting President Bashar Assad’s regime. Officials say the decision to offer ready-made meals and medical supplies to the rebels may be a step toward eventual U.S. military aid, which the administration has so far resisted.

FILE - In this Feb. 6, 2013 file photo, House Armed Services Committee Chairman Howard "Buck" McKeon, R-Calif., is seen on Capitol Hill in Washington. There is plenty of blame to go around for the pending automatic budget cuts that have put the U.S. military on the brink of a readiness crisis, McKeon said Wednesday. McKeon said that neither Congress nor the Obama administration has "clean hands." The debt crisis forcing the cuts was decades in the making, yet both sides opted for the easy path "when we should have explored the bravery of restraint," he said at a committee hearing.

The president's announcement that half of the U.S. troops now in Afghanistan will come home within one year will put the number precisely where it was when he first became president.
