U.S. President Barack Obama resisted pressure on Friday to abandon plans for air strikes against Syria and enlisted the support of 10 fellow leaders for a "strong" response to a chemical weapons attack.
Obama refused to blink after Russian President Vladimir Putin led a campaign to talk him out of military intervention at a two-day summit of the Group of Twenty developed and developing economies in St. Petersburg.
He persuaded nine other G20 nations plus Spain to join the United States in signing a statement calling for a strong international response, although it fell short of supporting military strikes, underscoring the deep disagreements that dominated the summit.

Not to mention taking the media spotlight off all his other (domestic) problems. Wag the dog comes to mind.

The boy is an idiot.
Bombing Syria makes no sense.
Let the Muslims sort it out.

the one place in the world that absolutely needs a regime change is Washington DC.
following Egypt's example, Americans should be demanding this.

He did find some time to do some community organizing/activism of the LGBT’s after all. There was a blurb on the world tab on ABC tonight; before that I couldn’t find a mainstream source, just bloggers.

These countries signed a statement, that’s all. None agreed to help Zero with military action.

However, his handlers (Soros, etc) are not idiots and they are advising him, so I will stick by my original post.

You’ll note how much more important the queer agenda is to ABC, than Obama bringing us to the brink of WW3.

You can tell he’s being told what to do by comparing his off the cuff remarks to his prepared teleprompter speeches.

I heard that too. Also heard half the activists canceled because the don't support the attack and the other half went home because the White House rescheduled the meeting fifteen times. What an arrogant a-hole.

If hussein Obama gets us in a war when the people and congress are against it, the dems will not be holding many more seats in congress after the next election. I believe Obama would soon be removed from office too.
