Why should I watch Fox "News" or take anything they say seriously? Remember, these are the same "geniuses" that were so absolutely certain Obama was going to lose.
You don't have to, I'm sure someone will keep you informed on what is going on in the world; there are a few of us that watch FNC and other news sources.
Here are some headlines from Fox News.com Politics Editiors just in case your news source is AWOL
Congressional Black Caucus head tells members not to discuss Syria - Chairwoman Rep.
Marcia Fudge, D-Ohio, has asked members to limit public discussion on the issue. Caucus members seem to so far be obliging.
Moderate Dems call for delay - Sens.
Joe Manchin D-W.Va., and
Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D., have proposed a resolution delaying the immediate use of force compelling the president to build more international and domestic support. Given the case that has been presented to me, I believe that a military strike against Syria at this time is the wrong course of action, Manchin said in a statement.
Obama pushing gay rights in Russia - [President Obama] is rhetorically waving the gay-rights flag on his visit to Russia, the Daily Caller reports,
even as he is working to soften or bypass opposition from Russias president to a strike on Syria
[Obama will] take time to meet with Russian gay rights groups.

BAIER TRACKS: ORGANIZING FOR INACTION ON SYRIA
It appears the administration is more worried about losing liberals than conservatives on the Syria vote (although initial head counts don't look great on either side). Thursday night, Secretary of State
John Kerry appeared on
Chris Hayes' show on MSNBC making the case. Friday, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N.
Samantha Power, will speak at the Center for American Progress, the liberal think tank started by
John Podesta.
There are already rumors on Capitol Hill that the administration isn't too fond of the broad language amended into the resolution by Sens.
John McCain, R-Ariz., and
Chris Coons, D-Del., -- so much so that administration officials may try to get that language dropped with further amendments brought up by supporters. Looking at all of that, you could easily come to the conclusion that the administration is making a full-court press to shore up liberal votes, correct?
