What happens to shutting down the Government now that more Republicans are interested in Syria?

Is this to be forgotten after all Obamacare is the greatest threat ever perpetrated on the nation? If the attack leads to a larger conflict does the United States surrender when government is de-funded?

No answers here just wondering.

They feel it a necessary one while all other sections of government can still be dismantled and shut down.

The GOP supports a military state.

I know the word "logic" and "Republican" should never be uttered in the same sentence.
