We really need to stay out of this lest we make a mistake of biblical proportions.

So are we going to start bombing the rebels for breaking international law?

This article raises an interesting thought for me. Perhaps others have been voicing this earlier.
What if it is found that the Syrian Rebels were the ones that used chemical weapons?
Is that a red line, Obama cannot accept?
I have heard no talk whatsoever about that reality. Anyone else?
Does he use a limited cruise missile attack on the rebels? If not, why not?
Personally I think we should stay out of it all together, but Obama laid down these ground rules. I didn't.
Let's see how he dances around the issue, if it is proven the rebels were the culprits here.

We’re already in it (not us but our rulers). This could get really big and ugly fast. The decent people left in the military should refuse to participate.

I agree we should stay out of this mess.
But Obozo painted himself into a corner by making his ultimatum. Now what does he do? Stay out and look weaker and less credible than he already appears? Or get involved in something we shouldn't? In the US when he does something stupid he just blames the Republicans and his wingmen in the media back him up, but this time he looks like an idiot to the whole world. Putin must really be enjoying this.

Dale Gavlak’s reporting shows up on beforeitsnews.com, I tried to post it, but the site is blocked by Free Republic.

I do wish someone in the GOP would remind him that its not up to him to decide when the US will take military action. However, nearly every president in our lifetime has already created a well-worn path to that unconstitutional option.

The ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF allows the Muslim Brotherhood to KILL CHRISTIANS in Syria, and take over another country.
It really is a
"more progressive, blood lust".
Little do they know that they are fulfilling
what our Heavenly Father said would happen.
Yet they are seeing the
Greater Exodus happening before our eyes,
and
most either are too involved in their "day-to-day lives", or they just don't want to see, that
what God SAID would happen ... IS happening now. Hussein of America is INTENTIONALLY DESTROYING AMERICA, from the inside out.
The
Muslims are guilty of the chemical attack, not the Christians, and the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF knows it.
But the
ARAB-
KENYANand MUSLIM defiling the Oval Office doesn't care.
Barack Hussein Obama II,
(a.k.a. Barry Soetoro) just want to turn Syria into another Muslim Brotherhood run country, and kill Christians.
It's just that simple!

An NBC poll has 80% saying he should get Congressional approval, so the point has been made and understood.
I think the best thing for the GOP to do at this point is follow the rule that you don't get in the way of your opponent imploding.
