Doomed Damascus

My Way News - Citing sarin use, US seeks Congress' OK for action
My Way News reports: "The Obama administration geared up for the biggest foreign policy vote since the Iraq war by arguing Sunday that new physical evidence shows the Syrian government used sarin gas in a deadly August attack. With its credibility on the line, the United States must respond, the country's top diplomat said. [...] Sarin, which affects the nervous system and is toxic in liquid or gas form, can be delivered in missiles, bombs, rockets or artillery shells. The gas is outlawed under international rules of warfare."

My Way News - Syria dismisses Obama as confused, moves troops
My Way News reports: "Syria on Sunday derided President Barack Obama's decision to hold off on punitive military strikes, but also took precautions by reportedly moving some troops and military equipment to civilian areas. [...] In Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his country is ready for 'any possible scenario,' a reference to fears of Syrian reprisals against Israel in the event of a U.S. strike on the Assad regime. Netanyahu did not address Obama's latest decisions, but media commentators and hard-line politicians said the U.S. president appeared indecisive."
