the first major hearing on syria since the president asked congress to start off on military action will start in a couple of hours. the senate relations committee will get the full lineup. secretary of state john kerry, chuck hagel and general martin dempsey are all going to be present to testify. earlier today the power house line up continued. the president met with members of congress at the white house including nancy pelosi and john boehner, both of whom confirmed they are on board with the president's plan. going to congress to okay military action is not exactly the path that presidents have been taking over and over the last several decades. for example, think back to grenada in 1983, panama in 1989, iraq in 1998.
