“And that’s why I have made a SECOND DECISION”
Holy hell, he was for it before he was against it!!! So glad he brought Jon Carry into his admin!!
Chris Wallace “The polls must have been really bad for Obama to come out and announce he will wait for the vote from congress on Sept. 9th.” (LOL! Kruathammer “The most amazing thing is the lack of urgency! There is a war going on. Is everyone just going to step aside and wait? This is amateur hour! He should have built a consensus. This looks like a president who botched himself into a corner and is looking for a way out.”
He turns Cameron’s humiliation and his own humiliation into a victorious noblesse oblige: Let the people (Congress) decide.
1) He couldn’t move those poll numbers-—9% for a Syria strike
2) He couldn’t move UN, NATO, or world opinion for a US strike on Syria
3) He needs money for his Syria war
4) He knew the results of a Syria strike were “lose, lose, and lose”
5) Now he gets to blame Congress
6) Now he can continue to covertly arm AlQaeda and MB in Syria
