Via NBC News:

Congress is scheduled to cast its first vote on Wednesday on the question of whether to authorize military intervention in Syria.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said that senators should plan to vote “sometime” on Wednesday on a motion to proceed to the Syria resolution, a procedural vote that will offer an early glimpse at whether President Barack Obama has the necessary votes in the upper chamber to support his request for authorization to strike Syria.

The vote will follow Obama’s prime-time address to the nation on Tuesday evening, as well as the president’s visit to Capitol Hill on Tuesday afternoon to huddle privately with Senate Democrats. (Reid said that Obama had also offered to meet privately with Republican senators.)

Reid also said that senior Obama administration officials would prepare a classified briefing for senators on Wednesday in advance of the vote.

Hilarious. I can't wait to watch these professional assholes vote to support Al Qaeda over Assad on 9/11. It will be the theater of the absurd.

What will be even more absurd is to vote to bomb Syria when a diplomatic solution of Assad turning his WMD's over to international inspectors is brought before the UN Security Council

but, but, we REALLY want to bomb Syria!

Reminds me of a story told by one of my ministers, years ago. He got a call at the office from home saying that his son's pet turtle, who had escaped from his home the night before, had been found dead on the floor in the closet. Oh dear, the minister was requested by his wife to come home and perform a little memorial service for the turtle [named Wow] so they could bury him. The father came right home and they searched together, around the house, for an appropriate box in which to bury Wow. They finally found one that was just right and decorated it with all the things that Wow liked and made a tissue paper bed for Wow.
When all was just perfect, Dad lifted Wow into his coffin and set him in place. As they gathered, watching in sadness Wow began to move. Not to be deterred from the moment, the young boy blurted out, "Kill him Daddy!!"
