US Senate sets Wednesday [9/11] for first Syria vote

The US Senate will hold a procedural vote Wednesday on a measure authorizing President Barack Obama to use military force against Syria.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Monday said the Senate will vote on a motion to debate the resolution endorsing "limited military action" in retaliation for Syria's alleged use of chemical weapons.
