I thought he was going to ask CONGRE$$ to fight a global war.. It’s not like drones and Hellfires respect borders these days.
IF it ain’t all in.. It ain’t all in.. Know what I mean, Vern.. Uhhh Jim?
What continues to amaze me is that the GOP controls both houses and they still can't hit themselves in the a$$ with a shovel when it comes to getting what the voting public has charged them to do. Until the GOP grows a pair, I'm done and the pocketbook is closed.
While waiting in the USAF clinic for my stepkid to get checked out by a medic, all they had in the waiting area was CNN.
Wall-to-wall Wolf Blitzer.
And that blurb came up. And I thought to myself, “this bassturd is going to get our guys killed, one way or another.
Word has it he’ll be on at 3:30, which gives me plenty of time to pick some music to listen to.....
Looks like Obama is going to half-ass it again, dragging the war out and costing lives.
All Obama wants is license to move into Syria and strike Assad.
It will mean WW3
An attempt to establish a no-fly zone will be the start of the real trouble because Russia will supply Assad with equipment that will cause the loss of US planes.
Tit for tat will follow and escalate to nukes.
McCain will have tears of joy...as will a few fools here on FR that keep advocating military moves against Putin. I say, not with this fool of a commander in chief.
Any word on whether he’s going after the varsity or just the JV team
He failed to leave a residual force of U.S. troops in Iraq, and as a result ISIS was born. Now he wants to send troops to fight them. The man is so brilliant I want to scream.

When an ass like Nobama cannot and will not even identify who the enemy is - we should not support his plans to fight that enemy.
Not with this CiC. Many soldiers will die with his RoE, and their blood will be on the hands of any Congressmen who vote for this.
meaningless political ass-covering ,, posturing
nobody in their right mind could even imagine our IslamoNazi-in=Chief actually doing any SERIOUS damage to his comrades in arms
ALSO he has nothing but contempt for Congress and its proper role in our system of (supposedly) representative governance
so why would he ask for such a resolution?
...answer...to give him ‘war powers” which...he would then extend to use against us all here at home
(study Lincoln’s administration, also to a degree FDR)
Beware..
Cite me any example of when Obama was given authority and he *didn’t* misuse it. How about any part of his administration that hasn’t tried to usurp authority to expand government power.
I would sooner give a can of gasoline, a bag of fireworks, cigarette lighters and road flares to a 10 year old with a penchant for arson.
Maybe he wants to topple Assad, finally; not ISIS
This is the same guy that said my tagline.
“Give me permission do nothing and kick this thing down the road, to the next administration”
“authorize military force against Islamic State that would bar any large-scale invasion by U.S. ground troops and limit operations to three years.”
VOTE NO.
This is a strategy of guaranteed FAILURE.
Do not put our boys into a war guaranteed to FAIL.
VOTE NO.
I suspect the only reason he’s asking is b/c he thinks the answer will be no or a protracted debate will ensue. Basically, its just another way for him to vote ‘present’. If Congress gives him the green light I wouldn’t think he’d move quickly to do anything other than study or ask for endless amounts of intel.
Only if you stop calling it the make-believe word “ISIL”
There is NO “Radical Islam”. It’s ALL JUST Islam and, if they adhere to the teachings of Mohammed, THEY’RE ALL RADICAL because, ultimately, they ALL want kafirs (that’s us) D.E.A.D.! Get used to it!!
If you genuinely want to understand the TRUE, VIOLENT, DUALISTIC, SCHIZOPHRENIC nature of ISLAM in order to become part of a solution instead of part of the problem that spells doom for Western Civilization (and, NO, that’s not too extreme a statement), you need to spend 40 minutes with Dr. Bill Warner here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjBDDC4wVxk
And this is ESPECIALLY for any antisemites who view the “Jewish Conspiracy” as the primary threat to your existence and are put off because the video was posted by a Jewish group. Try to think of any nations conquered by violent, bloody Jewish jihad and send me their names.
After watching this presentation, if you STILL believe that Bush was correct when he called islam a “religion of peace” (it’s not a religion and it ain’t peaceful) and Obama was right when he recently declared islam morally equivalent or superior to the Christian Crusades, you are DEFINITELY a BIG part of the problem.
Gang, this is a WAR and it is one we dare not lose!
PLEASE SHARE THIS BEFORE THEY STRIKE OF YOUR FINGER TIPS!!
So Obama wants to go to war with a JV Team, can’t be true/sarc
