CNN Pushes Crossfire Debut Up Week Because of Syria

Threat of war expected to be good for ratings

With a congressional vote on Syria looming, CNN can't wait to get "Crossfire" started again.

The network says the daily debate program will begin Monday, Sept. 9. CNN had originally planned for the show to debut the following Monday, but it moved up the premiere because of President Barack Obama's request that Congress vote on a military response against Syria over its alleged use of chemical weapons.
