Attacking Syria: Congress should insist that its vote be *binding*

[Jefferson23]

19. Quite right. I would like very much to hear the conversation on the floor of the

Congress nonetheless..they should not ignore it.

I also want to see how the administration will frame it legally..as Clinton did, calling
his attack humanitarian and at the same time stating it should not be considered
precedent. That was a twisted pretzel, imo.

I have been reading some opinions from experts on international law and they
claim the area can be gray..one actually said it is illegal, but do it anyway! Others
have said Syria signed in 1925 against use of chemical weapons and the lack
there of to sign again in the 90's is irrelevant.

I'm hoping that Obama wants out, and is looking for keeping the ball in their court
to dump this outrageously irresponsible idea to strike.

Of course the Congress could shock me and take up the approach that Carter set
forth...but that shock might give me a stroke.
