Senate Markup on Military Force in Syria

"The Senate Foreign Relations Committee marked up and approved a resolution on authorization for the use of military force in Syria in response to use of chemical weapons against civilians in that country. After debating the proposed measure, the committee approved the resolution on a vote of ten to seven, with one member voting present. The measure set a 60-day deadline plus a 30-day extension and would ban any use of U.S. armed forces on the ground in Syria."

There's a section discussing arming the FSA (albeit an indirect discussion over the wording of amendments) that I think starts about an hour in. Nobody is trying to drag anyone into war on a lie.
The first caller on Washington Journal said that Assad could make up some chemical weapons, blame the US for the result, drag in Israel. Then the caller told us we need to use our brains.
Caller 2: I don't know if it's the elite people in the Israeli government, but there's a plan.
Caller 97: There is one group of opinion-makers who are all in favour of it, and they're all Jewish.
