I didn't say there was "broad support". Go back and read what I posted. I said he likely would have had support for a broader response than just a missile strike on a Syrian airfield. The Resolution for Use of Force in Syria, if passed, would have given Obama Congressional support for up to 60 days of full military support. with an option for 30 days more. It had decent bipartisan support in the Senate, though the House might have taken a bit more arm twisting.
