Syria War Begins with Damascus Attack; Initial Reports [LIVE]

Syria War begins…. The US seems likely to strike the Assad regime in Syria, according to the most recent data from the US and the UK. Despite not consulting with Congress and only 9 percent of Americans approving of this war, Barack Obama seems determined to show Bashar Al Assad that the redline the president set is for real. Already, initial reports are reporting that the war in Syria has begun with large explosions being heard and felt in the capital of Damascus. Below is a live feed of the latest news as well as some reports from reliable sources.
