Syrians opposed to Assad say Obama’s decision will embolden his regime

Syrians opposed to President Bashar al-Assad expressed anger Sunday that President Obama had apparently decided against an imminent strike in Syria, as the country’s state media gloated over an “historic American retreat.”
A day after Obama announced that he would seek congressional approval for any attack on Syria, deferring any possible military action for at least 10 days, opposition activists said they were “deeply disappointed” with the decision. Rebel fighters also have predicted that Assad loyalists would seek to use the delay to escalate attacks on rebel strongholds.
