Well, let us see if President Barack Obama will proceed without the approval of Congress and/or the House of Representatives.

Brilliant strategic move by President Obama on two fronts – (i) by feinting an imminent attack only to push it back the US military saw how Assad’s military maneuvered; and (ii) he’s sending Iran a message by involving Congress. Yes, the US President never outsources foreign policy to Congress, but in this case Obama is a brilliant tactician also.

We will see what Congress and the U.S politicians would do in the coming days.
