Bingo.
Got that right. Or a cruise missile that veers off target killing hundreds of
innocent Syrians.
As the article indicates, there will be Democrats who will vote for the Syrian attack out of fear of weakening Obama’s Presidency, though they would not otherwise cast such a vote.
I hope, on the other hand, that Republicans will bear the same thing in mind. Defeat Obama on this issue, and his domestic agenda is in serious trouble. It could make a critical difference with respect to the 2014 elections, as well.
As important as the vote on Syria is (tell me again — what United States interests would be served by injecting ourselves into a civil war with at least four armed organizations?), the implications are much bigger. The Republicans have a golden opportunity to confer lame duck status on Obama for the rest of his term. I hope they don’t blow it.
The prospect of Obama surviving a wound by a sword (conflict, war, war of words, et al) is a more ominous possibility. He already "won" reelection, so obviously the dark side has been working overtime.
Th e House Republicans will blow it. What else do you expect from Boner?
I heard on the radio news today that German intelligence stated that Assad was not behind the chemical attacks.
(However, it could have been someone in his regime? )
Top it off with the fact that the terrorists our people were arming in Benghazi who turned on them,are now the ones we will be providing an Air Force for in Syria! Who the Hells side is this ass hat in the White House on?
That's my fear as well. Say he doesn't get the support in Congress and doesn't launch his strike on Syria. Will he be twice as quick to resort to a military solution the next time just to show he's still relevant?
I’m not so sure the current tantrum isn’t a reaction to things not going his way in Egypt.
Let the F$CKING Saudis get rid of Assad. It’s their filthy part of the world anyway. Not one missile of OURS should be fired for the Saudi Araba$$holes! Let their men be put in harms way!
This whole Syria manure pile is being orchestrated by GREEDY, money grubbing anus heads.

Why anyone would trust Obama as commander in chief after he intentionally let 4 Americans die in Benghazi then lied about it, told his staff to lie about and sends blacked out memos to the investigation, is just flat-out stupid. Where was he as CIC during the Benghazi attack? Why won’t he say? Where will he be while we are bombing Syria? Playing cards with Reggie. This man has no idea how to do anything. Can’t believe any congressman would trust him to do what’s right for American servicemen after Benghazi.
OK. So let’s get this straight. These cretins are going to go along with a vote that could escalate into WW III to avoid any embarassment for dear leader.
A national divorce is coming, folks.
Except our current Republican leaders always look in the wrong place for the jaws of victory.
To make things worse, and a little off topic, he has been spying on us since 2011. People are wondering why Petreaus is doing what he is doing? Blackmail! You wonder why the Feds missed the Boston Terrorist Attack? They were too darn busy spying on useful tools then they were on our enemies.
Yeah, we have to bomb Syria so Obama can rape the middle class with higher taxes some more.
“Democrats want Obama to use his popularity...”
His WHAT???
I dont mind seeing him wounded but I am concerned about how a wounded and cornered Obama will react.
I figured they would fear more for their precious positions of power that they are destined to lose if they vote for this cluster.
There will be no limit in his power.
