Benghazi? Benghazi has disappeared down the memory hole. Best not to mention it again.

They aren’t elected to simply rubber stamp whatever a president wants. Otherwise, why would they need to even vote in the first place?

I believe that is the key point. They are elected to look after the USA and it's citizens. That is their priority.

Spending a fortune on a foreign civil war where both sides hate us, with money we have to borrow from another adversary of ours?
How could that be in "our" best interest?

The Brits gave the world a civics lesson last week. I’m praying Congress does the same. U.S. credibility will not be hurt by this, it will be enhanced.

A real problem.

-The driveby media successfully took down an American President, Richard Nixon.
-The tried and failed to take down Reagan. Look how much time they took on Iran-Contra-gate, only to have Lt Col Oliver North turn the tables on them.
-They decided to get even by going after GHW Bush as some kind of goofy elitist by making him look like an idiot because he never saw a bar code scanner.
-The driveby media GAVE us Clinton by pumping up a third party under Ross Perot, who never had a chance. Do watch how they ignore third parties when it’s a democrat in the White House.
-They disparaged GW Bush to the point of making him a pariah.
-They were ready to give us Hillary but Obama snatched that away, which was fine by them. Now any criticism of Obama is either swept away or called racism.

For 50-75 years, liberal elitists in the press have ruled American politics, and therefore the world, and still do.

Qatari gas pipeline to Europe. This may be why many of the euros were for the strikes originally and also why Russia is vociferous in support of Assad. Qatari gas would compete directly with Russian gas which currently enjoys a near-monopoly in Europe.

Which gives Russia a national economic interest in saving Assad which we do not have and thus a reason to fight against us if we stick our noses in. If Europe wants that gas pipeline then they need to do the dirty work themselves we have no national interest in helping al Quaeda over Russia's historic dictator partner just so Europe can outmaneuver Russia on oil.

We definetly do not have a national interest in bombing Assad and leaving those WMDs in al Qaeda's hands.
