Obama hat mächtig Gegenwind "Across the US, public opinion is clearly
against attacking the regime of Bashar al-Assad for its use of
chemical weapons against civilians. ..The measure might pass the
Senate, but its prospects in the House are grim,” reports The Hill
newspaper. “Most House Republicans who have taken a stance are vowing
to vote no or are leaning no...A whip count by the Washington Post
has a similar result: 225 House members against military action or
leaning that way compared to just 25 who’ve said they’d support the
resolution.
As the AP points out, for Obama to succeed, he'll have to win about
90 percent of the undecided House members – or change the minds of
those who are leaning against him."
