During a special interview with Fox News’ Chris Wallace, President Obama acknowledged that Congressional debates will take a couple weeks, and that the American people have not been persuaded by the administrations arguments on Syria.
CHRIS WALLACE: But it’s going to take a couple of weeks?
PRESIDENT OBAMA: I do believe it’s going to take some time. Chris, you guys have polls, you do head counts. Right now, the American people are not persuaded. Right now, Members of Congress who are just getting back still have questions. So we’re going to have time to have a good deliberation in congress. We will pursue this diplomatic track. I fervently hope this can be resolved in a nonmilitary way. But I think it is important for us not to let the pedal off the metal when it comes to making sure they understand we mean what we say about international ban on chemical weapons.
