  1. Senate delays Syria vote

  2. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has delayed a vote on the Syrian military strike as opposition builds among senators in both parties. The Senate was scheduled to vote Wednesday on a procedural motion to begin formal debate on the resolution, but Reid announced late Monday the vote would be delayed in order to buy the president more time to make his case to senators and the public. The delay also came amid reports that Russia was seeking a deal with Syria to dismantle its chemical weapons program. Obama said in television interviews Monday such a deal could circumvent the need for U.S. military intervention. The president will visit separately with Senate Democrats and Senate Republicans on Tuesday at Capitol Hill before his prime-time television address tonight at 9 p.m.
