This is just another distraction .Its’ obama the pos trying to help Islamic radicals/terrorists take over Syria like Obama helped Islamic terrorists take over Lybia and Egypt.
Obama is pure evil that's why he helps communism and Islam.

This is what I love in our beloved leader.
Once he makes up his mind to do something, he might or might not do it.
Kinda reminds me of the famous Davy Crockett slogan,
“Be sure you are right.
Then go ahead”.
No. I guess not.

Are they going to start calling him The Great Decider over on HuffPo and MoveOn.org now?
I’ve never seen a President vote “Present” on military action before. Someone take that damned turtle off the post!

...he’s the only “leader” I’ve ever heard give a warning before a warning shot. The only Administration to tell an enemy when, where, what, and why, we are going to do what he intends to do. Then delay, so the enemy’s resources can be moved so several billions can be wasted on missiles hitting nothing...sort of s shovel ready attack.

Couldn’t watch it, won’t read it.
Thanks, anyway.
To: mdittmar
theyve agreed to schedule a debate and then a vote as soon as Congress comes back into sessionWhich won't happen (back into session) until Sept 6 according to the US Senate schedule. I'm impressed! /s

It certainly keeps Assad guessing. The speech itself was pretty well done, he must have a new writer.
Gives me time to stock up on gas and water so I’m actually good with it.

Assad will probably say, "I've seen it already."

Did he ask for Congressional input or approval before he used drones to kill American citizens? Why now for Syria?

Crisis in Syria? People who hate us are killing each other. One side aligned with Iran, the other with Al Qeda.

Typical CYA. If Congress says yes and it turns into a fiasco he can say he had backing. If Congress says no and it turns into a fiasco the evil GOP has blood on their hands.
