On Syria, House GOP won’t follow their leaders
Would someone please lock this man in an old-age home?
He’s holding out for more ‘apps’ for his iPhone, I guess.
Yep, it’s not allowing the kind of unchecked aggression that McCain wants.
Guess it’s because it doesn’t include nuking Damascus.
He is playing poker, again.
It does not go FAR ENOUGH for terrorist-supporting McCain.
McLame feeling the heat?
This is correct. He wants a wider war with more involvement. Including boots on the ground.
Probably. He didn’t explain his reasons, or at least not in this brief notice.
War - There’s an app for that.
so what number, or around what number is, “the low dozens?” 24? 36? 48?
Resolute won’t do enough to help Juan’s AQ buddies commit ethnic and religious cleansing and other atrocities.
Harry Reid must have dealt him a weak hand.

U.S. Senator McCain does not back Senate panel draft authorizing force in Syria
WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator John McCain, a leading Republican voice on military affairs, said on Wednesday he does not support a Senate panel’s draft resolution authorizing the use of force in Syria.
“There are a number of people who are unhappy,” McCain told reporters on Capitol Hill.
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee draft was narrower than the request made by President Barack Obama, and the panel, of which McCain is a member, may vote on it later on Wednesday. McCain has long favored U.S. intervention in the Syrian civil war.
What's the matter, Juan? Dealt a crappy hand?
This guy's not playing with a full deck.
This could get interesting. If McCain votes NO, a lot of the House GOP caucus will similarly take a pass. This puts more pressure on Pelosi to do the heavy lifting.
Obama must be forced to spend and squander every remaining ounce of political capital he has on this stupid resolution.
Leave him politically naked and impotent.
It must not be open-ended enough for Barack then.
