I’m sure that Harry and Nancy will be telling their folks to vote against authorization. And it is “good” to know that bh0 already has his Nobel Peace Prize, as he is being very warmonger-ish. I wonder if they will ask for it back?

[fortheDeclaration]

Agreed. The American People are against it.

[fortheDeclaration]

This vote could be a devastating defeat for the Neo-Con’s.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Well,...and from the Brits...gotta post that just for the headline.

Thanks!

[sevlex]

Absolutely. I believe he is praying for a NO vote to save his ass. And you can bet that NO vote will be bi-partisan.

[QQQQ]

No, he didn’t. From the beginning we knew that most of the Congress Republicans (and demorats) was against any military action against Syria. Our president made a fool out of himself and our country by keeping his mouth open.

[dfwgator]

He certainly boxed in the Bobsey Twins, McCain and Graham

[QQQQ]

Yes, but they lost credibility long time ago. I’ll be amazed if someone takes them seriously.

[dfwgator]

Our president made a fool out of himself and our country by keeping his mouth open.

The people who voted for him twice are the ones who made a fool out of the country.

[JSteff]

The rule as I recall is that O will have 90 days to do what he wants, then needs to get approval. So he will do what he wants anyway.

Don't for get that the CIA is now loaded with liberals after the directors it has had the last 4 years and the do what whey want now anyway.

[QQQQ]

Sadly we are in the same boat with the ones who voted for him.

[Hotlanta Mike]

That won’t fly, as a large majority don’t think its a good idea to attack. Obie will get a few pubbies, like McCain and Graham, but a resounding no throws it back into his lap and his responsibility. He’s just looking for someone with whom to share the blame...er...someone to blame. Quite stupid if Pubbies agree.

It won’t end well, no matter what happens, attack or no attack.

...”But this looks as if you are a cynic, meaning if you are sitting Syria, Iran, Moscow, it looks like a president who boxed himself into a corner and is looking for a way out.”

I’m not sure if he is going to do anything at all. Simple self preservation. The outcome of this “game” may be catastrophic. He can be king, emperor, president but he is human and deep inside have some fear factor.

[JSteff]

Russia is their friend so let Russia do what ever needs to be done with Syria.

Then the whole world is out of the mess and Russia has to live with world opinion.

Israel will be approached by the Russians to assist with the mess in Syria. The Russians need reliable bases and the no longer is any in the Middle East.

[Sacajaweau]

yup....that's the scenario.

And it's off to the golf course...

[JSteff]

Excellent Point. It all does come back to what he is good at and comfortable with... and what his handlers are accustom to.

[Sacajaweau]

of course...

[ssaftler]

Well, I’ve emailed my representative (George Miller, Water carrier for the Caliph-phony-a union thugs) telling him not to grant authority to the Usurper.

Like it will do any good...

[JSteff]

No, it is still time to campaign for O... he uses every opportunity to do so.
Either way this goes he sees it as an opportunity to vilify the Republicans in congress.

[The Wizard]

here’s hoping it fails in the senate, too
