Will Obama talk about how we'll pay for military action? or GOP balk at cost?

[yurbud]

After all the budget poor talk and sequestration, that should be front and center since ISIS is not a credible threat to the US, and our bombing of Syria is more likely about getting rid of Assad in any case.

1. When it comes to military action (as opposed to providing for veterans) the GOP

has a blank check.

4. President Obama doesn't control the purse.

Congress does.

He might suggest a few things, but that decision is ultimately up to them... UNFORTUNATELY, because we know what their priorities are.

5. Oh, you sillies!

Military actions don't cost anything.

6. They don't give a fuck about costs

They just want to make sure Obama doesn't actually succeed.
