Everyone's been talking about what the Prez should be doing about Syria, now he's forcing them to go on record with where they stand.

Pass the popcorn, this going to get good.

1. A quandary for the GOPers:

"Do I love war more than I hate Obama?"

2. Lord, you know some of them just hate having to do what he calls for them to do.

Aye or Nay, they don't even like the idea of giving him the courtesy of a reply.

It's delicious.

6. And for our side as well

Democratic congresscritters will have to ask themselves, "Do I hate unnecessary war more than I want to support President Obama?"

It's going to consume time and political capital that is better spent on dealing with the budget and the debt ceiling debates. We have two trains on the same track that are rushing towards each other, and Congress is being asked to pay attention to a car wreck not near the railway.

3. they were hoping to kick his ass from the sidelines..then impeach

[gopiscrap]

4. that was my thought also!

5. The wingnuts are going to

tie themselves in knots trying to figure out how to make Obama look bad.

We can expect them to battle this out in congress for weeks to come and my guess is that they would rather say "No" to Obama than say "Yes" to anything he wants.

He's played this beautifully as far as our national politics is concerned. As for Syria and chemical weapons, this is a problem that WE CANNOT FIX.

7. Is there any place one can invest in a little IRONY

8. Yep, the Pubbies were hoping for "Operation Eagle Claw" part II.

This is a different sort of operation, but still "humanitarian" and just as prone to blowback and "mistakes", and getting in a hurry with these things is always a mistake, unless the enemy has already started bombing this country first.
