“on the verge of voting to arm Syrian rebels”
Where did THIS come from?
The vote is on a resolution of support for Obama to order U.S. military action against the Assad regime over its alleged use of chemical weapons.
As of this moment the vote has been postponed because of the sudden, proposed arrangement for international supervision of the chemical weapons.
Check the date of the posted information, it is history & reference.
Here is the vote he is referring too:
