Even if the Senate backs President Barack Obama's call for military action against Syria, a wall of outright opposition or skepticism from Democrats and Republicans in the House makes approval there very difficult.
House Speaker John Boehner, who backs Obama on the issue, welcomed news on Friday that the president would deliver a national address on Tuesday to try to sway public opinion, which now opposes such a step.
Why ignite civil wars in other countries in the first place? Some sort of sick entertainment ??

Obama does not have neither "balls nor backing" to launch an attack without Congressional approval.
If he does so, a) Republicans might seek impeachment b) chances for Hillary or any democrat in 2016 will be crushed.
