This article “On Syria Debate, Congress
Shifts from Frenzied to Frozen” is a latest political news, which announces that
last night, president Obama delayed the vote on using military force on Syria
and it seemed like congress cooled down from frantic. The vote and meeting on Syria
was canceled and instead lawmakers mourned for the 9.11 attack 12 years ago and
moved to the budget, healthcare and some other topics. Things changed a lot
since last week. Last week, to gain support for bombing Syria, every staff in
White House tried to brief congressional Democrats and Republicans and to
persuade the skeptical lawmakers to agree with the military force in Syria. Also,
American Israel Public Affairs Committee sent 300 people to do the lobbying
work. But it turned out to be that didn’t work even after an all-hands-on deck
effort on Monday. For now, Congress would likely to see the debatable and
divisive vote put off.
