Theres a lot of questions today and will be early next week as well as both chambers take up this vote. Theres a lot of questions in particular about strategy in syria. I expect congress to approve the wishes with regard to military action once more details have been released about the syrian strategy. Quickly, yesterday you reported a threat on the resolution that funds the government. Whats going on with that .
