“President Obama’s bid to get congressional support to use military force in Syria received a boost Monday as Republican Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham said they have more confidence the White House is developing a better strategy for dealing with Syria. McCain and Graham are key votes Obama will need to win Senate approval for the United States to launch missile strikes against Syria in response to an Aug. 21 chemical weapons attack that killed more than 1,400 people. McCain and Graham have jointly expressed concerns that a military strike should be part of a broader strategy in Syria, not simply a random attack to punish the regime.”
