EXACTLY! Excellent post.

He’ll get authorization and then turn around and implicate the congress in the spread of the problem. He is roping them in. When you’re cornered, get others in the corner with you. Good strategy on his part unfortunately.

Barry Hussein Soetoro decisions are always political my guess it will have something to do with upcoming election. Maybe blaming the idiot republicans for authorizing war.

The GOP has to demand that there will be no holds barred.

***********
I agree with you but the reality is that the GOP never demands anything. The party is a complete farce.

That sounds about right. Big show, no go. He has to have something to do in DC when golfing isn’t an option, might as well tie Congress up with some fluff.

As he must now appear to act in taking down his own isis invention, he has quickly pivoted to making up with the mullahs in Iran.

“Waging war comes with fringe benefits, namely the power to Nationalize anything under the sun as a means to thwart the threat.”

You’re someone that gets it.

Let there be an attack in this country and all those police departments that have been armed up with military gear will suddenly become “national security forces” under his control.

No. It's not. It is the other half of the UNIPARTY.

“The time limit is what bothers me most about this.”

Me too. Unless it says something like: we will re-assess after 3 years.

But let’s Sequester our military through 2023, right? And let’s gut military retirement, healthcare, COLAs, and benefits so that we can give away Trillions to Illegal Invaders. Madness.

One comforting thing about this: the whackos can’t say “No war for Jews”

This is a tacit admission that pulling troops out of Iraq was a huge mistake, and not the worst of his presidency.

All Obama wants is license to move into Syria and strike Assad.

It will mean WW3

An attempt to establish a no-fly zone will be the start of the real trouble because Russia will supply Assad with equipment that will cause the loss of US planes.

Tit for tat will follow and escalate to nukes.

McCain will have tears of joy...as will a few fools here on FR that keep advocating military moves against Putin. I say, not with this fool of a commander in chief.
