CHEAT SHEET
TOP 10 RIGHT NOW
President Obama’s push for military action against Syria cleared the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, but the House committee appears divided. The Senate panel voted 10–7 in favor of authorizing military action, meaning the Senate will now debate and vote on it beginning next week. Sen. John McCain, a vocal proponent of military intervention, has already said he won’t vote for it unless the scope is widened. The House, meanwhile, seemed split when Secretary of State John Kerry made his case for strikes.
