I think they will approve it. Congress is dominated by Israeli (Zionist) interest groups such as AIPAC and the senators will vote accordingly as dictated by these very influential and powerful interest groups. This threat of attacking Syria has nothing to do with humanitarian intervention or the national security of the USA or its interests. This is exclusively for the protection of Israel because, like Iran, Syria is a threat to Israel in their relentless ME land grab.
The so called "Syrian Free Army" supported by Israel hating countries can hardly be in Israel’s interest to have Assad removed or even punished by the AIPAC controlled US congress. What would the Americans gain by sending few cruise missiles into Syria, which might by chance swing the advantage on the ground to the rebels, who most probably hate Israel more than the countries supporting the rebels, like Turkey? Knowing this, Obama is just paying lip service to everyone just so to get out of the jam he himself put on himself with the "Red Flag" on chemical weapons usage. Obama talked a lot of bravado yesterday to support his ill conceived "Red Flag" promises to teach Assad a lesson and then turned around and left the congress to bail him out by they voting down strike against Syria. Obama will then get off the hook and just claim, "Democracy at Work", which will piss off Erdogan big time for him to hate True Democracy more than he hates it now. He will tell the Turks next year, "you see what happens in a Democracy, the president can't even go to war without the approval of the congress/parliament, therefore you should give me all the power to make decisions on your behalf".
