Wow.. This little piece of sh** Ubama is “willing to go it alone” - - except it’s not him who will be going anywhere. It will be the sodomized, feminized remnants of the once-proud US military.

Strange, ain’t it?
Bush had , Congressional votes, UN resolutions, and a coalition of the willing, and still was called ‘Rogue’.
At least he said what he meant and meant what he said, even though it took 6 months to ‘rush into war’.
Once bitten, twice shy. One thing to learn from the Bush presidency is how fast the Dems will turn on you. Almost as if they were Lucy with the football and we were Charlie Brown.

Where is Waldo Boehner?

Neither the American people, nor the facts, are with our Resident. Indeed, there are gobs of 'Rats also not with the 'Resident.

0'Boehner needs to pull the rug out from under any Syria action, by calling Congress back into session to at least pass a resolution saying no to 0's using his Al-Qaida air force against those that have chem WMDs, but did not use them as they were used by the very rebels that 0' supports.

After all, even though 0'Boehner has only one half of one third, he has 100% of that one half of one third, and passing a resolution does not have to go thru any 'Rat sInate.

Why in the *world* would the Brits support *any* Obama initiative? He’s ‘dissed’ them every chance he’s gotten. The next President is going to have a lot of work to do to mitigate and repair the absolute damage this guy is doing.

Don’t enjoy it too much. Regardless of what happens, the media will have no problem spinning it to make zero look good. Even if they can’t, expect a heavy volume of phrases like “in a rare misstep, ...” If, as I expect, he does nothing, there will be countless comparisons to GWB (”unlike GWB, who led us into a pointless war based on a mistake, Obama showed the wisdom of a true leader ...”).

At this point, my chief worry is that by alienating everyone, the potential for any action getting out of control is increasing by the minute. I still don’t think Obama will do anything, but if he does, China and Russia are not only going to go ballistic, they will also be encouraged by the fact that Obama has completely bungled this so far, and has no support anywhere, domestic or abroad.

Don’t fool yourself. Quite a few GOP Congresscritters support this foolish action. Bonehead does not want to expose them with a vote.

I’m pretty sure France cares a lot more about what happens in Syria than they did about Iraq.

GWB is not likely to break his silence, but this would be an excellent time for him to observe that he sought and received explicit congressional approval for his military actions, and in both Afghanistan and Iraq assembled a broad international coalition. The words "never before has the United States been so isolated," "pathetic," and "incompetent" will fit neatly. I will be glad to help write the statement.

Coming at this time, it would leave a mark.

Let’s see if our corrupt traitor has been paid enough to order an attack in direct violation of international law. The UN hung 11 war criminals at Nuremberg for this sort of crime. Do you think they have the nads to do the same to Obama?

Parliament’s decision is hardly stunning. hussein will be going it alone since the American citizens don’t want anything to do with it. He’s out to get his WWIII and he may not like the finish.

My active duty Army son would disagree with your characterization of him, sir. But I will tell you this: I don't want Baraq getting him killed for no damn good reason.

In all syriasness, Lebanon and Syria are former French colonies and I agree they do have more interest in that region.

“So what is he going to do? Bomb the weapons? What would be the outcome of that?”

The weapons have reportedly been widely dispersed to prevent their destruction by air raids. Most likely a concentrated effort would fail to hit even 50%. Then, as you imply, you’d have a massive release of gas or nerve agents. There is no good option. At one point the weapons were all stored in just three closely guarded facilities and could have been taken out then. But that would have taken foresight and planning. Something we’re a bit short on now.

King Zero will defy the world to help his MB comrades. He knows our “news” media will back and spin it to make him look like a hero )to them).

Agreed. Putin must be loving this. It’s bad for the country to have a President this weak and disrespected.

Having never worked in a real job, the Amateur never learned that you have to pick your battles to fight. This one clearly wasn’t worth fighting.

Now he’s painted himself into a corner for all the world to see.
