Only 19% of the American public supports a US strike on Syria while Israel and her enforcer AIPAC support a strike.
Who will sway Congress and the President, 81% of American citizens or AIPAC and Israel.
My money is on AIPAC which donates heavily to Congress and the Presidency.
Who Governs ME policies? Whose Interests?

Last week, Politico ran a story on the silence of Jewish pro-Israel lobby groups regarding U.S. intervention into Syria, with a focus on AIPAC. Its a fair question to ask: AIPACs mandate is the strengthening of the U.S.-Israel relationship, it is one of Washingtons most powerful lobbies, and the Syrian civil war does affect American and Israeli interests in the region.
One might, then, expect it to take a public position on the biggest issue of the day, U.S. strikes against the regimes military assets. And after President Obama announced he was going to Congress for authorization for the attack, observers began wonderingwith some claiming more confidentlythat AIPAC would become much more active. Apparently White House officials even fear what AIPAC will do. If Obama is seen as not enforcing his red line over Syria, how, one hinted, would this 800-pound gorilla in the room view the Administrations Iran policy.
Obama launches push for support on Syria, calls for quick action in Congress
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama has failed so far to convince most Americans that the United States should launch a limited military strike against Syria in response to a suspected chemical weapons attack by the Syrian government, a Reuters/Ipsos poll showed on Tuesday.
Some 56 percent of those surveyed said the United States should not intervene in Syria, while only 19 percent supported action, the online poll found.The findings are essentially unchanged from last week and indicated that Obama changed few minds on Saturday when he argued that Washington has the obligation to punish Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for what the United States says was a sarin gas attack that killed more than 1,400 people, including hundreds of children, near Damascus on August 21.
