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 
the relationshi
on members, they 
said, now appear to view al-Nusra more warily.In public comments Tuesday, 
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
