How much say will Congress have on Syrian chemical weapons response?
Washington (CNN) - Call it domestic housekeeping, a political dotting of "i"s and crossing of "t"s on a checklist for launching punitive military strikes against Syria for last week's chemical weapons attack.
The Obama administration briefed members of Congress late Thursday in a display of consultation intended to fulfill a murky obligation under law and address the inevitable complaints by minority legislators that no one ever talks to them.

No unilateral action! Either we have a coalition or we don't go.
Involve all. No more wars. Let Saudi and China deal.
Oh so Congress does have other things on their plate besides repealing health care for millions that can't afford it and repealing a 40 year old abortion law??
The most useless Congress in history.
Based on Obama's past behavior........NONE!
Over the past several months McCain and others were demanding the President take action. Now that he is considering taking action others are demanding he not take action. Our elected officials are as divided as the American people and the international community. Mr. President make your case for UN involvement. If the International community decides nothing should be done then so be it.
