Boner can support the “action” but hopeully the rest of Congress will actually vote NO if there is no U.S. national security threat.

“I support the military industrial complex and the millions of dollars they have contributed towards my many reelection races.”, is actually what he is saying.

"And I also support our Saudi overlords, who keep sending those checks."

If McCain were president, how would Obama vote regarding a Syrian attack? We all know he’d vote “no”.

This from Facebook:

I just called his office at 202-225-0600 and waiting on hold forever to speak to his representative and being told there is a higher volume of calls than normal and after waiting on hold for about 15 minutes, THEN get a voicemail type message from John Boehner about leaving him a voicemail.

You can opt at the beginning to leave a comment and you won’t have to wait.

No big surprise that Boner is supporting Obama against the desires of most Republicans. Considering his record, I would not expect him to do otherwise. The question I have is what exactly does Obama have on Boner, courtesy, no doubt from the NSA that allows Obama to so easily pull his strings.

If using gas warrants a US military response then equally strike each of the parties that used the gas. It isn’t rational for the US to choose sides between these two bad guys.

WWII support for USSR is a much different argument, but if it applies in the least it would support a strike solely against Al Qaeda.
