Boehner Says He Supports Obama on Syria

NBC Washington ^ | 9/3/13 | NBC Washington

Hussein really has the goods on Boner, such that Boner can’t fulfill the duties of his job. Ohio needs to recall him.

[ClearCase_guy]

For me, it is entirely clearcut --

On the one hand, we can side with al Qaeda and overthrow one of the last secular leaders in the Middle East, while also angering that leader's close ally, Russia

OR

We can stay out of it.

You may see both sides as roughly equivalent, but I have no difficulty choosing a path.

[Cheerio]

If we launch on Syria it will ignite a firestorm in the Middle East.

Clown is performing like a Slim Pickins wanna be - all to save face for his stupid red line statement.

[Lazamataz]

Yours is an interesting perspective, and I appreciate you sharing it. I would like to add something into the mix:

This is all about Russia’s monopoly on European natural gas and the desire of the Arab states to break into that market. It has NOTHING to do with chemical weapons, Iran’s nuke, or the continued existence of Israel.

This is something that Saudi Arabia and its client and satellite states want. We are clearly now a full-on client-state of the Saudi Arabian Empire. They say JUMP and we ask HOW HIGH AND WHEN, SIR.

This may be the reason Obama bowed when meeting the Saudi leaders.

There IS *some* good news that comes out of this, if Russia and China hold their fire and don’t respond to our WWIII provocation:

Now that we are fully a client, satellite-state of the Saudi Arabian Empire, they are likely to spend some of their trillions floating our impossible economy by buying our worthless bonds.

That means we get a few more years before we become a full-on, Max-Max third world shithole.

Me, I’m stocking up and planning a way out.

[Old Yeller]

Think it’s bad now? See what happens if they are permitted to get the guns. And make no mistake, if allowed, Boner & GOPe will sell us out on 2A.

We all know the answer to that, but it can't be said.

[Lady Heron]

There is no doubt that republican "leaders" are compromised with blackmail curtsey of this administration. There is no way that the opposition party does not listen when 80 to 90% of Americans are saying NO!

Time for them to be replaced.

[Lady Heron]

What I think the republicans in the house and senate should is to vote 50% for OBAMAS plan and 50% against it. Then whatever the democrats want will happen.

No! If even one republican votes with them they will say they had bipartisan support for this fiasco.

[Veto!]

Republican caucus: Vote “No”

You seem to be operating under the illusion that anyone in congress is honest. They all seem to be corrupt, wholly-owned subsidiaries of lobbyists. Or at least for sale.

Obama apparently met Boehner's price.

There is no advantage in attacking Syria to anyone except manufacturers of war machinery

[Askwhy5times]

I respect your opinion and never claimed the two arguments were equal. To me it isn’t as clear cut. In spite Assad being “one of the last secular leaders in the Middle East,” He is an Iran ally, enemy of Israel and willing to use sarin gas on his own people. he is no choir boy.

[GeronL]

me too

of course he was going to cave he always caves

[Veto!]

This is something that Saudi Arabia and its client and satellite states want. We are clearly now a full-on client-state of the Saudi Arabian Empire. They say JUMP and we ask HOW HIGH AND WHEN, SIR.

Yep. Plain and simple. We'll all be bowing to the sheiks very soon. Well, maybe not me. I'll be confined to my home, wearing a burqa.

[cousair]

DUMP the speaker and all who vote with him and the White House. Over 91% of us (We The People) vote NO on this one. It isn’t our business, it isn’t our country, and we should not be in the business of WAR with either side. Let them blow each other up and we will be done with the bastards!!

[LibLieSlayer]

There is absolutely no “pro” to attacking Syria and we have no national interest being served in doing so. Let the enemies of America kill one another as often as they wish to and do nothing to stop them. We should never again use Military force unless we declare an all out war, destroy our enemies until they are no more and come back home... no humanitarian aid and no mercy or quarter... and no nation building.

[N. Theknow]

He needs to change his name to John Boar-Tits.

He could not be any more useless.

[crazydad]

I believe they know something is going to happen and this is all a distraction from something coming our way. Don’t know what but I think it is a big event. Who knows maybe Comet Ison that is coming in November to January is going to have something bad in store for us. OK Flame away. Equip my tinfoil.

If there are any doubts that Boehner is in bed with the Democrats they should be erased with his roll over on this particular issue. We have no Republican representation in Washington. We have no Conservative leaders in Washington, D.C. Obamacare is going to be thrust down our throats as the diversion in Syria heats up. I hope we can survive.

Boehner is in bed with K Street not the Dems. The big donors don’t want principled, engaged opposition to the kenyan. They want kick the can down the road deals with these rampaging marxists. So the tan man is doing their bidding on this one just like amnesty, kenyancare, spending, etc., etc. We are seeing once again the total abandonment of Main St. by the beltway GOP.
