(CNSNews.com) - Would President Obama attack Syria without congressional authorization?
A White House spokesman told reporters on Monday that President Obama is evaluating potential options for dealing with Syria: "But he has not made that decision, and when he does, I'm sure you will hear from him.
"When it comes to Congress, we're consulting with Congress and will continue to do that," White House spokesman Jay Carney continued.
But asked to "detail" the administration's consultations with Congress so far, Carney was vague:
"Well, members of Congress have been consulted, and those consultations will continue. We don't tend to read out every individual phone call, but the White House and obviously the State Department and others have been consulting members --

That's the ticket
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Is Congress aware of this?
what would be our objective if we invade or bomb (or both) Syria?
just asking
i’ve been listening to the radio almost all day and so far nobody’s said
He backed him self into a corner...
So now he can get the GOP to take the blame.
This will be ‘fun’ to watch.
I bet. Even Kucinich recognizes this is a mistake!
“Consulting” with Congress is not the same as having an open vote and obtaining congressional approval. Obama’s splendid Syrian adventure very well may lead to World War III. Very doubtful that Congress would approve.
He’s looking for Republicans to blame when he starts an insane war...
I’m sure that “Dingy” Harry Reid and Nancy Pelousi are in that loop.
But it is still under deliberation so they can’t talk about it.
Same as all the stuff that is “under investigation” and can’t be discussed.
Bull.
I’m sure that is ‘Congress’ in the eyes of dear leader.
Because Kucinich is just a nutty liberal and not a mooslum on a jihad.
You are not far off the mark.
Well, he didn’t bother to get a vote when he invaded Libya, and congress pretty much let him get away with it. Especially McCain and his boyfriend.
But this time, Russia may not abstain if there is a UN vote.
Listen to Biden, Kerry, the Rodeo Clown.
No useful purpose in Syria. No Wag The Dog. No Theraputic Bombing.
Impeach the bastard if HE CROSSES the LINE!
Transparent!
No...that would spoil the surprise.
LOL!
