Obama seeks an accomplice for Syria action
WaPo ^ | 9/4/2013 | George Will

Posted on 09/04/2013 3:03:35 PM PDT by mojito

Because Syria’s convulsion has become as serious as Barack Obama has been careless in speaking about it, he is suddenly and uncharacteristically insisting that Congress participate in governance. Regarding institutional derangements, he is the infection against which he pretends to be an immunization.

[....]

Now he asks from the Congress he disdains an authorization he considers superfluous.

Will forgot to add that the same regime that now attempts to persuade Congress that Assad is guilty of chemical warfare is the same regime that blamed Benghazi on a video.

A very curious pattern has emerged, and I dont' think it's by coincidence. The Zero regime is all about discrediting (Mubarak), or attacking (Qaddafi, Assad) Arab dictators when the clear beneficiaries will be Sunni radicals, be it the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, or Salafist militias, as in Libya and Syria.

*******

After years of circumventing and blaming congress at every opportunity, NOW all of a sudden he wants them to participate in a decision that could easily backfire on them. Obama only wants them for political cover. If congress agrees, they will own this war and all of the unintended consequences.

The videos below show that O-bomber is lying (again).

No surprise since he can't even come up with a real birth certificate.

O is going to buy an accomplice.
He is going to score big time after a face-to-face with Putin.
Putin rattled his sword(s) in a major way over Syria, but that was nothing more than dealing himself some cards.
Putin will endorse a strike on Syria once O gives him what he wants and there is littel chance we will learn what that was.
O will return home to a press that loudly hails him a the most decisive and determined world leader since Clinton or even FDR.

Obama is a arrogant little prick. He opened his mouth and made a threat and ran to hide behind congress when he got called on it. Then he has the nerve to say that everybody’s credibility is on the line except his. He might be right since he has no credibility. Why would a republican support an asshole who just spit in their face? Let him handle his own mess.

This Kenyan said “My credibility” is not on the line. It’s the International community and congress. In other words, “It’s everyone’s fault BUT mine.”

Careful folks. 99% of the time obama wants the opposite of what we think he wants to happen. I think it is a setup to make repubs look bad for the 2014 mid term elections.

Good question

ask John Boehner who continues to wipe spittle off his chin everytime he responds to a summons to the WH

Who wants to back a President that has stabbed you in the back at every opportunity.
And who will stab you in the back again and again for any reason in the future. Screw that.
