The White House Pushes For Syrian Strike

The White House is making the hard sell for a military strike on Syria. Today the Senate Foreign Relations Committee held the first of two hearings while President Obama met with the heads of key congressional committees and re-emphasized that intervention would be limited.

WBUR's Sacha Pfeiffer asked a Massachusetts congressman how he plans to vote on Syria (click here for a full transcript of that conversation) and Meghna Chakrabarti spoke about the upcoming debate in Congress with an outspoken critic of the war in Iraq.
