Guardian - US/Syria Live: Reports in its 8.08pm post on two amendments by Senator McCain to the US Senate's Syria Resolution, the post states the following, " The changes would seem to expand – perhaps significantly – the scope of the prospective American military campaign. In particular the second amendment flatly states "It is the policy of the United States to change the momentum on the battlefield in Syria.".
Lets Get Real:
Thus if the Congressional resolution is tough the Oval will need more Republicans, the liberal base of the Democratic Party will not support a long term War, after Iraq and Afghanistan the US voter and parts of the US political establishment is very tired of constant war, the hard struggle will be in the House, its safe for House Republicans to vote NO, the Party base does not trust the Oval, also there is mistrust that the Oval will not follow through with any promises on Syrian policy. On the Democratic side extreme liberals and those that oppose any military action will come under pressure not to vote yes, as the left thinks that the US should be building at home not abroad. We shall see if the White House can count better than UK PM Cameron.
