That's an easy one - Bombing Syria will draw attention away from those infernal congressional hearings.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration said Wednesday it would take action against the Syrian government even without the backing of allies or the United Nations because diplomatic paralysis must not prevent a response to the alleged chemical weapons attack outside the Syrian capital last week.
New requests for the United Nations to authorize military action in Syria may have complicated the Obama administration's plan to take retaliatory action on the purported poison gas attack east of Damascus that U.S. officials claim was carried out by President Bashar Assad's forces.
But a State Department spokeswoman said possible U.N. rejection of the U.S. plan — most likely led by Russia — won't slow the administration.
"We cannot be held up in responding by Russia's intransigence — continued intransigence — at the United Nations," Marie Harf said. "The situation is so serious that it demands a response."

No, the US is not willing to go anywhere. It’s all on hussein who’s rushing out to save his MB buddies and destroy America.
That's an easy one - Bombing Syria will draw attention away from those infernal congressional hearings.
Oh yes I remember the Kerry “global test” from the 04 election. What absolute nonsense.
And, remember his critisism of Bush “he rushed into war without a plan to win the peace” !!
“LET ME BE CRYSTAL CLEAR - I HAVE A PLAN”
Wow, the “War is Not the Answer” crowd sure has changed it tune from just a few short years ago:
OBAMA: “The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.”
And that includes mccain. He had to have been brainwashed. It’s so obvious obama wants the MB to take over all of the Middle East. And look who agrees with him.
Lol. This must be so hard on the MSM.
So when are we conservatives going to start gathering in the town squares, playing guitar and getting high while we we chant “1,2,3,4, we don’t want your f***ing war” ? You’d hear hippie heads exploding from a distance of 20 miles.
OBAMA: “The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.”
Youtube with Biden warning at that time, President GW not to start military action against Iran without approval from Congress. If GW did, Biden promised to start impeachment proceedings.

One might ask Joe, “Why not now Joe if your Obozo liar bombs Syria?”
Please don’t insult the meaning of the word cowboy.
Someone needs to do a side by side chart comparing Iraq with Syria on things like: Congressional approval, UN approval, verified WMD’s, warnings given, stated goals, ect.
Rush did some of this yesterday.
Why not?
Our military is doing everything other than defend America everywhere and flinging about bombs and munitions like popcorn in service to this jackass. Gay generals surveilling American citizens as though they were foreign terrorists and foreign terrorists as though they were freedom and peace loving citizens.
The world has gone mad and our Emperor Zero is setting the world on fire.
Not a good idea.

*******
Poking the bear. Probably not a wise thing to do. The chess playing Russians are probably several moves ahead of Barky.
A one man coalition leading with his behind.
Let the wealthy in Congress, their kids, relatives and those in the White House go it alone....
We'll see how fast these corrupt SOBs change their arrogant deceitful minds.
‘Russian’, is the new ‘Republican’.
OBoehner’s really gonna be pissed. Will have to send another sternly worded letter—as soon as he reapplies his running mascara.
WOW! What an incredibly piss poor read of the US mood.
