(20,226 posts)Congressional approval with a majority of Republicans voting for military strikes and the vote among Democrats will be closer, but with more Democrats than Republicans opposing military strikes.

(37,208 posts)the GOP put up a terrible row. The 911 attack should have been an embarrassment to them, but of course they are never embarrassed by their incompetence.
