Is Obama going to attack Syria without Congress’s approval? Only Obama can do it though without the media making a fuss, after all he’s Obama..now if it were Bush they would be calling him a war criminal for even suggesting such a thing

I believe he can under the War Powers act. If memory serves, he can commit forces for 60 days to conflict abroad with a 30 day extension for egress. He has 48 hours to inform congress of the commitment.

Bush got congressional approval TWICE, the left calls Bush a criminal for not getting UN approval.
