CROWLEY: The international community has recognized the Syrian National Council as the legitimate representative of the Syrian people, officially backing its opposition to the regime of Bashar al- Assad. At a friends of Syria conference in Turkey, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned that the Syrian government will face serious consequences if it doesn't stop killing civilians. She also spoke with CNN's Jill Dougherty about what's being done to ratchet up the pressure on the al-Assad regime.</s>CLINTON: We hear a lot from the inside, that these sanctions are happening in a timely way. Also, the reserves of the country are being drawn down, marketplaces are not as full of goods as they once were. So this does take time. You know, we're well aware that time is going by, people are being killed. It just is absolutely horrific, what's happening. But the Istanbul meeting today was quite consequential in terms of the outcomes. And you know, really increasing the enforcement of sanctions was one of the best.</s>CROWLEY: Ahead, I'll ask the leaders of the House Intelligence Committee if they think it would be a good idea to arm the Syrian opposition.
