NYT: Obama Willing to Pursue Solo Syria Strikes, Aides Say

WASHINGTON — President Obama is prepared to move ahead with a limited military strike on Syria, administration officials said on Thursday, even with a rejection of such action by Britain’s Parliament, an increasingly restive Congress, and lacking an endorsement from the United Nations Security Council.

Although the officials cautioned that Mr. Obama had not made a final decision, all indications suggest that the strike could occur as soon as United Nations inspectors, who are investigating the Aug. 21 attack that killed hundreds of Syrians, leave the country. They are scheduled to depart Damascus, the capital, on Saturday.

The White House is to present its case for military action against Syria to Congressional leaders on Thursday night. Administration officials assert that the intelligence will show that forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad carried out the chemical weapons attack in the suburbs of Damascus.

The intelligence does not tie Mr. Assad directly to the attack, officials briefed on the presentation said, but the administration believes that it has enough evidence to carry out a limited strike that would deter the Syrian government from using these weapons again.

He apparently didn’t want to act in the first place; hence the vacillating after the first reports of chemical strikes. Now he has an excuse, e.g., no international support.

The purple-lipped, Nobel-peace-prize-winning jackass needs to consult urgently with Generals Axelrod, Jarrett, and Rice! Good luck all on your own, you big-mouth, flap eared idiot.

You made your bed - now lay in it! With the liars at the NYT in with you!

I’m with Putin on this one.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA.

This clown is one sick puppy, i have never seen a world leader so intent on “getting his way”. America is in serious trouble with the rodeo clown at the helm.

I’m convinced he has a vested monetary interest in this.

Monetary and political.

Look up Obama’s half brother Malik - and look into his connection with the Muslim Brotherhood.

nobama is such a spoiled-child clown-president. Unfortunately, this bozo’s words and deeds effect us all. Just his intent of bombing another country drove my stock investments down quite a bit yesterday. Yet another reason to despise nobama/LIBs/DIMs/RINOs. nobama is the eternal-mocked and ridiculed president. What a limp putz! I bet even his children laugh at him & his weakness.

The absolute disgust, the total revulsion, the skin-crawling detestation of that pussy maggot traitor is simply beyond words.

I just about drenched my MacBook Pro with some of Seattle's Best with that one. He's probably loading Reggie's breech even as I type . . . HAHAHAHAHA!
