Obama jumps at the shot of dubious propaganda from Syria and the machinations of Prince Bandar. It will take a good spanking from Democrats to reign him in. More power to them, they are Americans also.
Didn't stop them from their Million Moron Marches when it was EEVIL BOOOSH!
There is no anti-war movement.
There was only an anti-republican movement.
Who many DC anti-war protests did we have from 2008 - 2012???????
Pathetic.
Everyone of them will back Obama when push comes to shove.
So, their voting records prove they aren't 'Americans also', they are traitors.
Why Liberals Kill
President Obama to exit Afghanistan. But their heroesfrom FDR to JFKpromoted U.S. involvement in more wars than all modern GOP presidents combined.

Welcome to the party,Dems.Bring McCain and Graham with you.
“Anti-War” - Believing that your country is fighting for the wrong side.
Kucinich as citizen far trumps the hack politician he once was previously.
Oh, like it was when there was, oh say, LIBYA!?
Well done, Kucinich, an honest liberal.
I want to do just the opposite of anything this flaming moron wants to do.
The dems are as pathetic as the 'pubs. Maybe Kucinich can embarrass them into manning up.
What I don’t get in reading history is Pol Pot was murdering millions of citizens of Cambodia while Jimmy Carter was president. Why didn’t Carter say or do something through the UN or whatever? Now Obama wants to unilaterally go into Syria with a few bombs? To accomplish what exactly? To knock out some powdered milk plants??
Do you jump in to help, and which wretched beast do you help?
When you are done, the victor will eat your children.
Idiots are in charge.
Members of Congress typically dont take the time to examine the evidence independently, Grayson said. Its probably asking a little bit too much to ask every member of Congress to examine all of the information.
Is it really too much senator? Really?
When the lives of Americans are at stake I don’t
think it’s too much to ask at all.
I wonder if he’d think it was too much, if in the event
of failure and WAR, the senate and congress were arrested
and put on trial for neglect of duty.
That bunch of slithering snakes that are generically designated as “liberal Democrats” still do not have the moral fortitude to stand up RIGHT NOW and denounce, in no uncertain terms, the fallacy of entering a fight on somebody else’s real estate,
The US has NO compelling national interest here. In fact, to go sticking our oar in here is to gravely endanger a long-time and steadfast ally, Israel, though that may be part of the subtext of the agenda that the Current Occupant of the White Hut is trying to push through.
When Saddam Hussein was limiting his warfare (poison gas and all) to border conflicts with the Iranian Islamic Republic, and to their clandestine supporters within Iraq, it was not the province of the US interests to stop that fight, not that we could have been in the least effective.
Likewise, when Islamic jihadists are shooting up other Islamic jihadists, our interest ought be limited only to containing any collateral damage OUTSIDE the combat zone.
Like in Kosovo and Serbia, had the US not intervened, the Balkan states and the European states most directly affected would have sorted the dispute themselves, and not had the US to blame for the greater grief that was visited upon them by strikes from a distance upon their real estate. A bombing run at 30,000 feet cannot distinguish between friendlies (if there ever were any in that region) and the despised foes, who, as it turned out, were pretty largely the Islamic partisans.
Likewise, strafing a war zone with missiles fired from offshore out in the Mediterranean is as likely to cause approximately equal damage to all parties on the ground, combatants and non-combatants alike, with no discernible benefit other than to break things and kill people.
Stand down, hands off, concentrate on keeping commerce flowing through the Suez Canal and into surrounding ports.
But of course, the Current Regime now squatting in the White Hut is not well served by such a program. They have a bunch of phony scandals that have to be covered up, and the fog of war is an excellent camouflage.
To save face. Obama said he wants the bombing of Syria to be just muscular enough not to get mocked.
It's ALL political to him. He's not doing this because he cares about the children who died by the chemical attack.
Yes..you read it right! They are a bunch of lazy cowards. They don’t want to take a vote until after the bombing starts because they believe it will give them political cover.
Loved this bit:
“Grayson, who said responding to Syrian atrocities is not in the U.S. national interest, said its likely that congressional Democrats will become more vocal about the Syria attacks after they take place. Having a strong opinion about it now, he said, would require more research than most of his colleagues are able to do over the August recess.
Members of Congress typically dont take the time to examine the evidence independently, Grayson said. Its probably asking a little bit too much to ask every member of Congress to examine all of the information.
Just too much to ask that they do their dang jobs!! Priceless quote there.
Pathetic more like it. Heck..I am just a citizen and have been spending night and day studying this situation...and don’t even get paid! LOL!!
Where have all the usual suspects from the entertainment industry been while the BOzo Admin has been orchestrating the overthrow of gov’ts and giving aid/support to yahoos committing all sorts of atrocities? What a bunch of frauds.
What a bunch of mealy mouthed, equivocating cowards.
