Most Americans do not think a part of American military intervention in Syria, but there is a growing feeling in Washington, U.S. President Barack Obama will face more political risk, from a weak response than the use of chemical weapons attack Syria Bashar al-Assad government.
With the establishment of the Obama administration is likely to take military action in Syria's case, some analysts said such a move might not have at home, President lingering negative consequences - as long as the intervention is short-lived.
Assad announced last year across the "red line", may lead the U.S. response, and if he used chemical weapons, Obama to ensure that foreign enemies and allies - as well as his Republican political opponents - view any failure to respond as a sign of weakness of the president.
"Obama to consider the impact of other policy areas, and if he fails to take action," a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, said William Galston, who was President Bill Clinton's domestic policy adviser. "What to do - that is what will be devastating."
Chemical attack near Damascus last week, hundreds of adults and children were killed in Syria, wounded, Obama "does not have that luxury," inaction, he said.
Tuesday appeared in Obama, who has long been wary of any participating Syria civil war, America's allies must be carefully coordinated military response to the foundation.
Polls show sinking support interventions
Polls show that most Americans, more than a decade of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are tired, strongly opposed the U.S. military mission in Syria. Last week, Reuters Ipsos (Ipsos) survey found that about 60 percent of Americans oppose U.S. intervention in Syria, while only 9% of the people support it.
More and more Americans are in favor of intervention in Syria if the use of chemical weapons, but has declined even support the situation in Syria has worsened, according to the poll.
However, the U.S. military actions are usually short-term support at least one spark for their president's actions, Americans rally around the troops.
Ipsos pollster Julia Clark said: "My prediction would be to swing public opinion will be very fast, in order to support military action in Syria,." "Obama The danger is that if it becomes even longer."
Lawmakers on Capitol Hill, has sent mixed signals to Syria, can be said to Obama more leeway.
Republicans, Arizona Sen. John McCain, the leadership has been criticized Obama moves too slow and called for a strong military intervention.
McCain suggested on Tuesday, a brief attack cruise missile, the purpose is more than to change Syria's Assad to send messages during the civil war, it may make the situation worse emboldened Assad allowed to claim that he has been subjected to the attack Americans.
Meanwhile, some liberal Democrats and conservative Republicans - including Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, a potential 2016 presidential candidates - are opposed to any U.S. intervention.
There is no "lasting political impact
Obama is faced with the decision of Syria, as Congress prepares to return to Washington next week to update a lingering government spending and the federal debt ceiling budget battle.
Some Republicans are threatening another government shutdown if Democrats do not agree to deeper spending cuts, or postpone the president's health care reform funds.
Domestic policy issues strong concern in Congress, means that any short-term impact of the Syrian military action may be limited.
"It is those things, but tragic, will not have any lasting political impact one way or the other, one Republican strategist Rich Galen said:" The U.S. short-term interventions Syria.
"We are locked in a cycle of domestic unrest, political overwhelming."
