That is partly as I figure it. No doubt they are fabricating some new and improved version of crisis to prove that the obastard is brilliant.

Joseph Goebbels eat your heart out. You’re a piker compared to to the lickspittles of this administration.

So the Reps will commit political suicide to please Obama? And how many Dems will support what amounts to unilateral military action (w/o UN approval or NATO for that matter) against Syria? And what kind of action will they approve? Will it be contingent upon regime change type action or just a pinprick?

We know what the McCains want, but he is in a distinct minority. He will want more extensive strikes and regime change. The wording of the resolution will be critical to the kind of support it gets.

That would be "republic", not "democracy", Mr. Obama.

We were founded a Republic but have become a Democracy via Universal Suffrage imposed by Costitutional Ammendmemnt.

The Founders didnt put a right to vote in the Constitution for a reason.

Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.

Elections have consequences.

Next time America, choose wisely.

You are assuming we HAD a choice in 2012 when all the evidence was there to prove that Cook County went national after 2008 and the last election had enough fraud and machine corruption to ensure His Heinous remained in power.

I don't believe we have a real choice anymore.

Just an illusion of choice. We went Soviet and continue to deceive ourselves about it.

It's the Ruling Class and the MarxoFascists against the rest of us plebes.

I suspect Sir Edmund Hillary's namesake is smirking in her cankles.

This makes whatever she did (or didn't do) in Benghazi look positively clear and robust!

I agree he's trying to hide behind Congress now. But he was all set to attack Syria this weekend and backed off. He messed up big time.

And Obama will be able to face the G-20 next week as the great leader who respects democratic principles. He can polish his Nobel Peace Prize. Putin may even give him a pat on the head in St. Petersburg.

True. But where is the evidence for this strike?
Was this gas military grade or home cooked gas?
How was it delivered? Did the rebels steal gas and was it
set off intentionally or a home cooked accident?

“You have it wrong....he is the United States of America.

Sorry. We disagree. He is toe-jam. And in his bid for glory he forgot the whole “consent of the governed” thing. His mistake. Run the mouth, learn to like the taste of foot.

If we have any luck, dear leader will be an odd historical footnote that we’ll hasten to forget in 3 years. Except perhaps in bogeyman stories told to scare children.

Can you imagine if this nut case McCain was the one making the decision.
It would be Dr. Strangelove all over.

so I wonder what is now to keep Assad from using chemical weapons if he wants to? What is Obama going to do about it?

I hope Obama just screwed his MB base as badly as it appears he did.
