Endgame In The Syrian Crisis by Dr. Alan Sabrosky

Both Israel and its lobby here cannot like what is unfolding, because absent UN endorsement and a cobbled-together coalition, a large majority of the public and therefore members at least of the House of Representatives are saying, in effect, “hell, no, we won’t go.”
One way or the other, what happens will be settled within two weeks or less. A “no” from the Congress after the very public position Obama has taken would be politically catastrophic for him. This is not a parliamentary system. If he acceded, he would stand as a fool; if he attacked anyway, he would be impeached and his agenda in ruins.
Complicating things internationally, within 10 days, if news reports are correct, several additional Russian warships — including a powerful missile cruiser named the Moskva — will reach the Eastern Mediterranean, as will at least one Chinese warship now transiting the Red Sea (there are some reports of others, including at least one submarine, but I cannot say for certain). Probably the only possible “out” for Obama is a Russian proposal for Syria to relinquish its chemical munitions under international supervision, which might be the straw Obama grabs to avert other and (for him politically, at least) far worse alternatives.
So here is how it is shaping up as we enter the end game. Obama simply has to avoid a crushing “no” vote in the House of Representatives and nothing better than stalemate in the Senate, or his political goose is cooked & carved for dinner the remainder of his time in office.
