President Obama has released the text of the resolution he will send to Congress, asking them to rubber stamp his already-made decision to bomb Syria. The full text of the resolution is below, but here are the key paragraphs:

Here's the full text of the force resolution the Mahdi and the Traitor want Congress to pass. It totally gives the lie to the idea, presented by both, tha any action will be narrow and surgical. Congress should pass a resolution forbidding any action at all.

If I were a member of Congress, I would not let the Boy Genius off the hook on this one. I would want no part of this. This is his baby, and his baby alone. He's the one who made the ultimatum. He's the one who did not seek to get input from Congress before he shot off his mouth. Now he wants to get someone to share the blame with? Not on your life.

Again mac daddy lies.

Well what do we expect, his mouth was moving.

I’m sure Congress will fill this blank check with more pork than a pig farm
in return for their vote.
Stop the insanity. Let Allah sort it out.

[chiefqc]

Share the blame?

Mac daddy is alway blameless in whatever he does or says and all his sock puppets will defend him always.

Guess I should have seen this coming.

A decade ago we let those weapons pass from Iraq to Syria and it should have been a bit obvious why.

The “road to Damascus” should have been strewn with craters at the Iraq border in 2003...

Obama 2007..... Saddam is a tyrant but not a national security threat. Now let me be clear: I suffer no illusions about Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal man. A ruthless man. A man who butchers his own people to secure his own power. The world, and the Iraqi people would be better off without him. But I also know that Saddam poses no imminent and direct threat to the United States, and that in concert with the international community he can be contained until, in the way of all petty dictators, he falls away into the dustbin of history."

Substitute Assad for Saddam here in 2013.

[Vendome]

Yep.

I feel like this whole thing in the ME was a long term strategy but, just can’t figure out the why or what’s in it for us.

I recall some mouthpieces then saying we couldn’t stop all the transfer routes anyway, but you wonder why there was no obvious effort made. If they were considered too dangerous to the populace to be released in attacks, they must have been at least tagged & traced — yet “no” evidence ...
