The two events are probably not, but also may be, related.

It'll also be interesting to see what effect this will have on precious metals too. However, Obama and co have been getting lots of backlash as many members of the House and Senate plus super majorities of the American people don't want this to happen.

Not entirely sure those two things are related.

Me either.  The majority of Americans are against any interference and Obama has said no "boots on ground."  Obviously this could change but for right now I see the "attack" as nothing more than a couple of cruise missiles launched their way to tell them to knock it off.  1,500 casualties isn't an incredibly large amount in the grand scheme of things.

Well, that's got the possibilities covered!

Anything the Russians and Chinese states can do to drive Bitcoin adoption is in their interest when the US behaves increasingly belligerently, a hot war is not sensible. They've only been doing this already for a while now, after all, just not too flagrantly. But the more aggressively the US pursues this madness, the more we can expect indirect hostility to US dominance in all spheres (currency and financial domination being only one area)

Now Obama wants approval from Congress before taking military action.  How likely is he to get it?

President Obama turns to Congress to OK strike against Syria

How are these heights new?  Until Bitcoin exceeds it's record we're not at new heights

[Kyle91]

Sometimes it does.

I don't think the Syria affair will affect bitcoin price much.

current jump in exchange rates is related to past week's US regulators meet up with the Foundation. i think some folks in DC got excited along with some speculators and maybe even attracted those who were still on a fence about getting into bitcoin before.

The Arabic countries should sell the oil only for bitcoins instead of USD as protest.

Obama wanted to bring democracy and freedom to Iraq, couple years later 1,500 barrels of oil are being exported daily, Iraq now has freedom and democracy, time to bring freedom and democracy to Syria.
