Measure to train Syrian rebels is sent to White House UNDATED (AP) - Legislation to arm and train moderate Syrian rebels fighting the Islamic State group is waiting for President Barack Obamas signature. The legislation is part of a spending bill that eliminates the threat of a government shutdown before the November elections, and it was approved by Congress this week. Joint Chiefs Chairman Martin Dempsey says it could take a year before moderate Syrian rebels trained by U.S. troops return to the battlefield to fight the Islamic State militant group.
