True, but the bottom line is he is making the right decision, even if he came about it the wrong way.

I just want to see this resolution shot down.

BTW: Has there ever been a Presidential request for authorization to use force that has been voted down by Congress? I cannot think of one.

Obama should have asked for Congressional approval two years ago. The guy is a dumb@ss pure and simple and now trying to weasel out of his position again like he tried to do with Bin Ladin.

Fortunately our country is strong enough to survive incompetency in that office for a few years. Clearly from here on out this guy will do nothing anywhere regardless what happens.

He will not bomb Syria, or stand up for Taiwan or S. Korea or Israel. He will sit on his hands.

Yup. The House rejected Clinton’s authorization for Bosnia in 1999, in a tie vote.
