President Barack Obama is seeking to refocus economic relations between
the U.S. and Mexico, even as fresh questions about security cooperation
threaten to cast a shadow over the president's visit to the southern
neighbor.Obama also will use his three-day trip, which begins Thursday and
includes a stop in Costa Rica, to highlight the immigration overhaul moving
through Capitol Hill, both for an audience in Latin America and for
those back home in the U.S.The president is scheduled to arrive Thursday
afternoon in Mexico City for meetings with President Enrique Pena Nieto
and members of Mexico's business community.Since taking office in December,
Pena Nieto has moved to end the widespread access it gave U.S.
security agencies helping fight drug trafficking and organized crime. The
changes mark a dramatic shift from the policies of Pena Nieto's predecessor,
Felipe Calderon, who was lauded by the U.S. for boosting cooperation between
the two countries as he led an aggressive attack on Mexico's drug
cartels.The White House has tried to downplay a potential rift, with officials
emphasizing Mexico has kept the U.S. informed about the changes. Obama on
Tuesday said he would wait to hear directly from his Mexican counterpart
before assessing the changes.Despite the intense focus on security issues,
Obama advisers say the president will try to show that the ties
between the two countries are broader than the drug wars that defined

Dempsey said the U.S. could provide weapons that might make the rebels
more "militarily effective."But, he warned, it's not clear "whether the
military effect would produce the kind of outcome I think that not
only members of Congress but all of us would desire, which is,
you know, an end to the violence, some kind of political reconciliation
among the parties and a stable Syria."However, a U.S. official said military
planners believe that it would be possible to vet the rebel fighting
forces and that those under Free Syrian Army chief Gen. Salim Idriss
and the Supreme Military Council are seen as independent of al-Nusra.The
official said the military planners also believe that Idriss' forces would
be prime candidates to receive arms, if and when Obama makes the
decision to start providing lethal assistance.Arming the rebels could take
any number of paths. If ordered, the U.S. military could provide the
weapons to rebel groups, or the Pentagon could use the State Department
as an intermediary and transfer the weapons through those channels. Under
a more covert scenario, the CIA could secretly provide the arms.At the
Pentagon on Wednesday, press secretary George Little said there are discussions
underway on how to bolster humanitarian assistance and how to engage even
more closely with the opposition forces."We're fully cognizant of the role
