When Congress was called in . . .

I don't think Obama's team ever expected to win, but just wanted to draw world attention to the problem of mass killings with chemicals or missiles or whatever.

I think their ultimate goal is to attract the world's attention and get the UN involved somehow. They know we don't have the resources for more war, and if they can stay out of it, no matter how, they'll try this ploy.

I hope this is what it's all about, a big trick and that it works.

We've only tried blowing up our own ships and blaming it on people we need a war with. But that's getting old.

We would have needed to shoot down a plane with a Syrian-owned Russian-supplied shooting machine, OR just get everybody all worked up with a contrived asking for Congress' blessings which is doubtul we will get.

We probably have the UN's attention by now.
