  1. We have been told that during an outdoor walk at the White House, Obama decided to involve Congress in the decision to take military action against Syria. This was his best Syria option yet. In one move, he most importantly, follows the Constitution.

    Now the question is who controls Congress. Based on the public statements of the leadership in Congress, it is not the American people, who have cleared expressed a desire to stay out of Syria militarily.

    In a surprisingly candid Wall Street Journal article dated September 3, 2013 we get our answer, “GOP Leader Rallies for Obama Plan”.

    “WASHINGTON—House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, one of President Barack Obama’s
    fiercest critics, now finds himself in a pivotal position, corralling votes for a defining issue
    of Mr. Obama’s presidency.

    Mr. Cantor’s support is critical, Republican aides said, because of his influence with
    conservatives and his long-standing support for Israel, which has been pressing the
    U.S. to take action against the Assad regime. Tuesday, the influential American Israel
    Public Affairs Committee announced its support, urging Congress to grant Mr. Obama
    authority.”

    No point agonizing over this any further. Syria gets bombed. The targets? Airfield control towers and runways. Why? Because Syria gets resupplied with military hardware that is flown in.
