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.

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

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.

I read as much of that "statement" as I could stand - the usual self-serving BS from the Kenyan-in-Chief. And he had the unmitigated gall to go from there to Fort Belvoir to play golf. That maggot should not be allowed on a U.S. Military base - he is flat out not worthy to shine the boots of any serving soldier, sailor, airman or Marine.

Behind the scenes.. the President reads his speech and adds what he wants.
"In a world with many dangers -- gassing citizens, stalking and killing young minority children, stupid white policemen -- every menace must be confronted.. uh?"
"No! No! Mr. President, this is not the place for that. This is about Syria only. Later."
"Oh darn. OK."

"Im confident in the case our government has made without waiting for U.N. inspectors..."
No, you haven't come close.
Seriously, what is the point of funding the U.N. if we are not even going to use them? I would tell him that either he waits for the U.N. inspectors to finish their report... or else, we're going to have to go ahead and defund them...

Obama found an out. He painted himself into a corner with his line in the sand, but now he knows the repercussions of military actions will spin out of control. Democrats in congress didn’t want to go anywhere near voting to support his intervention as it would demoralize their base for the ‘14 midterms, but they didn’t want to undermine him either.
So Obama will save face by allowing congress to “persuade” him to not to intervene militarily, following the Cameron precedent...and we end up just sending humanitarian aid through the UN. A nice tidy escape.

This is an easy decision for congress. Tell Obama he can’t attack Syria... but that we’ll make Syria adopt Obamacare. Then in a couple of years they’ll be bankrupt and not able to afford any more chemical weapons.
