So Tell Me - Does The President Trust Boehner & His Support On This Syrian Strike....

I just heard Boehner come out and give what I would say is a strong supportive statement backing the President's plan to strike Syria. It might be just me - but I don't trust the guy. Do you think he will continue to stand behind his statement or will the people in his Party sway his support?

Some think that it helps him if they approve action, hardly, because the president asked them for it. You do not ask for what you don't want.

"What is funny is that while everyone is all a-tizzy over possible US intervention in Syria, we've been running cross border ops since 05 from Iraq, Turkey and Jordan for the past 8 years right up until last week and will continue to do so.

The sole question on the table is do we now do it overtly."

I am so glad he is doing ( or at least trying to do ) the right thing.

No one should tolerate use of WMDs and genocide.

Thank you President Obama!
