President Barack Obama has won backing
from key US political figures on his plans for a
military strike on Syria.
Mr Obama said a "limited" strike was needed to
degrade President Bashar al-Assad's capabilities in
response to an alleged chemical weapons attack.
Key Republican leaders John Boehner and Eric
Cantor both signalled their support for military
action. Congress is expected to vote next week.
The UN earlier confirmed that more than two million
Syrians were now refugees.
More than 100,000 people are thought to have died
since the uprising against President Assad began in
March 2011.
'Broader strategy'
President Obama and Vice-President Joe Biden met
House Speaker John Boehner, House Democratic
Leader Nancy Pelosi and the chairmen and ranking
members from the national security committees in
Washington on Tuesday.
Mr Boehner signalled his support for Mr Obama's
call for action, saying that only the US had the
capacity to stop President Assad. Mr Boehner urged
his colleagues in Congress to follow suit.
Mr Cantor, the House of Representatives majority
leader, said he also backed Mr Obama.
The Virginia Republican said: "Assad's Syria, a state
sponsor of terrorism, is the epitome of a rogue
state, and it has long posed a direct threat to
American interests and to our partners."
Ms Pelosi said she did not believe Congress wouldreject a resolution calling for force.
Mr Obama said that Mr Assad had to be held
accountable for the chemical attack and that he was
confident Congress would back him.
