The GOP is a reliable thorn in Obama's side, but has been noticeably quiet on Syria
[Snip]
While the American public is largely against the idea of attacking Syria, another group stands, for the most part, with the president on the issue: Republicans.
Influential members of the GOP, including Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), have been pushing the president to act for months, and now that he's come around to their way of looking at things, they're noticeably agreeable.
[Snip]
Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), the ranking GOP member on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, took no shots at the president, while calling for a "surgical" operation and saying "it's always good to be cautious."
[Snip]
Even Karl Rove and Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol are on the president's side.

Useful idiots. Giving President Screwtape cover. Where are the RAT supporters?
Yep..all the GOPe and their media lackeys that most conservatives despise now!
I don't like the giraffe necked Assad government, but I don't want us involved in this mess, and especially not under false pretenses.
That is exactly what they are doing! I despise these people! This is truly unforgivable! We have no business going into Syria! Not at this late date when the only outcome will be AQ/Islamist control! Insanity!
These guys are on the same team as the Saudis. I would look for a connection in that direction. Probably not hard to find.
It's a good thing Barack Obama is a half-blacked, jug-eared nitwit. Otherwise we wouldn't be able to tell the difference between him and George W. Bush. :-P
We need to majorly mind our own business. Obama’s line in the sand was bait. The guy in the White House needs to back away and leave it alone. For once it would be better if he just went off to play golf.
It’s amazing how much cooperation a full set of NSA files can buy...
I don’t know why it’s surprising. I don’t know about Corker, but the rest are RINOs and follow King Zero around they’re his puppies.
Amen to Post 4
Another gigantic foreign policy failure brought to you by the idiocrats we have elected.
Global Test? Check!
What I SHOULD have said was: Syria got Obama to draw a line in the sand and then they crossed said line, now they are baiting him, trying to get the U.S. to attack.
I can’t name a single rat in the senate actively pushing for war... just RINOS
Corker is proving once again that he doesn’t give a damned what the people of Tennessee think because he has 5 years to go before he faces an opponent.
McCain never met a war he didn’t like....he practically begged Clinton the nuke Belgrade back during Kosovo.
Why on earth is it a surprise? These are the same GOP dolts who ALWAYS support Obama. From amnesty, to NSA snooping, to funding Obamacare, to now getting involved in this Syrian insanity.
Exactly. But, doncha' know, that was King Zero's plan all along.......
Not a dime’s worth of difference.
Obama's foreign policy has been to install the Muslim Brotherhood/AQ into as many ME countries as possible. Egypt (has backfired now), Libya, and now Syria. The pattern is undeniable.
