U.N. evidence that could show whether chemical weapons were used in Syria will head to a lab Monday, but the answer may just be a formality.
The American president has already said there's no doubt Syria's government killed hundreds of civilians in a chemical weapon attack. Independent tests have revealed "signatures of sarin gas" in blood and hair samples from Syria, Secretary of State John Kerry said.
President Barack Obama wants Congress to sign off on limited strikes on Syrian targets - but some lawmakers bristle at the idea of getting ensnared in another overseas conflict.

Now who got their hands on these or toxins provided by other players in Syria is the question.
A mucky situation at best into which some are itching to rush headlong.
@chrissy, yes and yes.
I have been doing that along with other thinking and patriotic Americans. There are also orgs which are making sincere efforts to make the public voice heard up on the Hill.
Though we get stock answers to our letters and petitions that are neither here nor there but They know that we care for this country .And that one day would make a difference.
rtesponse to @chrissy blocked.
Yes & yes@chrissy.
I have been doing that on issues crucial to this nation along with other thinking,patriotic Americans.
Though we receive stock answers to our letters and calls which are neither here nor there, 'they' know we care for this country. And that has to make a difference.
Call your rep today before its too late.
Any approval by Congress can and would be treated as a blank check for war. Congress for once has to stand up for the Americans they are supposed to serve not for special interests and foreign lobbies.
I will repeat my mantra: no US boots in Syria.
No military involvement. Arab league is calling for action, S.Arabia is calling for action, Israel called for action.O.K let them 'act'.
Its a regional and Arab problem. Why should Americans take the most pain or any pain at all , getting militarily involved in regional conflicts and civil wars?
Agreed @ saywhat and @ banasy! One more thing everyone should voice their state representative ~ STOP all financial aid to Egypts millitary!
A coup by any other name is...still a coup.
Lol yes @ banasy, and according to the rules, regulations, laws (or whatever our government wants to call it) set up by our government, they are supposed to STOP giving financial aid to Egypts military!
Congress's tap-dancing around this goes directly to the desire to keep protecting Israel's border, chrissy.
My comment is awaiting moderation. Fabulous.
Hello banasy
Hope you are having a fine Labor Day weekend. Man it is hot down here. How hot is it you ask ?
It's hotter n a pooter after a night of eating jalepenos.
Hi, Rawr. Yes, a nice Labor Day, indeed. Temps are moderate with low humidity.
