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."

Because Obama thinks he's COP of the world or maybe KING - and his power has no limits... That's why he doesn't care what anyone thinks...
Whoa.
John Kerry, who ran against Bush on “we have no Allies in the Iraq fight” now has to argue FOR this? LOL.... classic.
More like this is how I jo obama when Reggie is not available.
O: I am a KING!
and who grants the media and elite to coronate? especially when we are a constitutional republic.. or used to be.. last I checked.
Thanks NormsRevenge.

The AP is lying. Britain and France has been bugging our U.S. Government for a long time to go after Assad’s forces. They’re in it, too, and probably others. Russia is a veto nation in the U.N., but we know what that’s worth.
The same Yahoo’s that cursed Bush and questioned the presence of WMD’s are big hawks now that their side runs the military. The media is shameless.
This time though ? including along with the desert tents is the Muslim Brotherhood’s prized goat brothels, now that will teach them a lesson.
Article 25 Section 4
Don’t you know by now that THE MESSIAH, Our Lord Obama doesn’t need no stinkin’ Constitution, or Congressional Approval by now?
Just ask anyone in the Mainstream Media about this.
Hi to my friends at the NSA.
which statement was made first
Obama undecided on Syria strike as US gives up on UN
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/3060080/posts?page=1
full speed ahead...or WHAT?
Obama’s gonna start smashing heads with his Nobel Peace Prize?
Obama is willing, not America
“...US willing to go it alone against Syria if needed...”
Go WHAT alone???
Benghazi:
An American Ambassador, SEALs, and other Embassy personnel murdered. Silence...crickets... Shrillary screeching “What DIFFERENCE, at this time, does it MAKE!?!”
Syria:
NO Americans killed, harmed, wounded, feelings offended, emotional distress or self-esteem bruised... and ODouche wants to start a war? And if we DO attack, we’ll be helping AL QUEDA (Qida, Kida, Kyda - whatever).
Syria did NOT attack us, presents NO imminent threat to our shores or people, and neither side in that conflict is our ally.
Yeah... Makes sense to me.
Will somebody PLEASE put the grown-ups back in charge...
Reminds of the line that Willem Dafoe had in Platoon where he told Sheen’s character that, “America had been kicking ass for so long it was about time we got ours kicked...”
I doubt we get our butts kicked but then again we don’t fight to win anymore anyway, I don’t see this ending well for us.
Not to even mention the total economics of the thing. It cost the taxpayers a lot of money to go to war I Iraq and Afghanistan, and back then the country still had some money.
Odumbo has squandered all the resources on his welfare programs and failed economic programs. How he thinks that there is money for him to do anything in Syria is pathetic.
We are now a poor, weak nation, in no position to try to be a world power.
Funny, I don’t hear Candy Crowley getting all bent out of shape because of ‘Cowboy Diplomacy’ now. Maybe she’s too busy trying to shed those extra pounds...
