NBC's Richard Engel reports the latest from the Turkey border town of Antakya as the world awaits possible US-led military strikes on Syria.

[Ted Grant]

Boxed in the GOP.

[al baby]

He is a wuss

[Biggirl]

HOPE he gets a big fat NO.

[4rcane]

GOP should vote no

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Someone get a scorecard up of who voted FOR/AGAINST the last ones. This may be get interesting.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

There will be enough dims to give the GOP cover, but that story won’t be told.

[4rcane]

Obama is not even giving diplomacy a chance. This rush to war is very scary

[jdsteel]

He said it is in our national interest but did not have a good explanation as to how it was in our national interest. That other countries might ignore us and pursue NBC weapons? Has he ever HEARD of Iran?

[yldstrk]

I don’t trust this one little bit

the criminal John Kerry and this obama ‘leader” are in cahoots

[SoFloFreeper]

The GOP is not boxed in, the Clown is boxed in.

Congress will vote no, and the clown is stuck.

[Mister Da]

Let me be the first to predict that any opposition to Bombing Syria will be labeled RACIST.

[HomeAtLast]

The buck stops...not here!

[4rcane]

There won’t be any cover. We will simply vote out any gop who vote for it in the primary

[Hotlanta Mike]

An attempt at saving face...it will be Congress’fault that the Noble Peace Prize winner can’t launch his noble attack.

[ModelBreaker]

I think this is a small victory. Forcing a would be dictator to ask for permission for anything is a small victory.

Hopefully, the R’s in the house have the spine to say “No.” Certainly, plenty of nominal R’s in the Senate will enthusiastically cheer on a pointless military exercise.

I expect no principled behavior out of democrats when Zero is asking for anything; so it’s pretty much on the R’s.

[Cyman]

If you believe Urkel the only logical and MORAL target would be Assad.

[Doogle]

HOPING the GOP will help save his face...”well...ah...ah...ah...they...ah ah ah..wouldn’t let me...ah...ah..ah..”

[FrdmLvr]

Wow, after he attacks Syria, maybe he’ll get another Peace Prize!
