US President Barack Obama has the authority to launch air strikes against Syria. But he has to notify lawmakers in Congress -- a process which has begun, according to both sides.

"The administration is actively consulting with members of Congress, and we will continue to have these conversations in the days ahead," Kerry said Monday in a strongly-worded statement on Syria.

Presidents can now fund/give arms to foreigners to overthrow other governments and air strike against foreign nations is not really war?

It's not war if they don't fight back.

This time, though, I believe they will.

Fixed it. He's got the checkbook and a stack of EO forms.

If I were a SEAL group scheduled for Syria, I’d be tempted to suggest buying my own helicopter, or at least scheduling my own tasks, or maybe even having a SEAL buddy be the traffic controller, or, well, hell, maybe sit this one out.

So, just another case of "Obama's cowboy diplomacy".

"Cowboy Obama" and his sidekick cowboy John F. "I was for it before I was against it" Kerry will send some missiles, claim they destroyed chemical weapons storage, "declare victory and go home".

"Obama's cowgirls" Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice and Samantha Powers have already been responsible for several failed "Arab Springs" in Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Tunisia etc.

Nobel Peace Prize laureate "Cowboy Obama" - sounds oxymoronic, doesn't it?

Long enough to ensnare us in someone else’s mess and start screaming about the GOP wanting to cut funding to the troops if we want out.
