Cold feet? Or just looking at the polls? Only 9% of Americans support military action against Syria.

Well,you could knock me over with a feather. It's not like he took 9 months to provide a troop surge.....wait, what?

This guy can't make a decision to save his life, let alone others. He's too busy being a celebrity rather than a president.

He’s waiting for somebody to tell him what to do, and where to go on vacation to hide from the fallout, while spokes-idiots handle the press.

Starting a war in Syria is the worst possible decision he could make under these circumstances.

Therefore, I am highly confident he will.

The Obamadork has to consult his local Imam for guidance first.

Obama is slime.

Slime is not normally associated with timely and correct decision making.

He’ll find out about the invasion when he reads about it in the newspaper.

He might want to check out Drudge, or Reuters, or the Washington Post. They have essentially announced everything but the exact time and location of the bombing.
