Syria Inaction is NOT AN OPTION [View all]

[Jack_Dawson]

Otherwise you're basically saying...hey I'm walking down the street and see that across the street babies are writhing around and being killed and disfigured by napalm and sarin gases...anyway nothing to see here...doo-doo-doo.

And yes, Syria atrocities have been occurring for years, and it sucks the world has stood by and done nothing. But now that a**hole Assad has crossed Obama's red line and is laughing about it, because he sees how dysfunctional our Congress is...voting down if Obama says up. Voting red sky if Obama says the sky is blue.

Mr. President, please forget our Congress, they hate you and will vote for whatever you're against, and vice-versa. If you want the sun to come up tomorrow, they will convene an emergency session to make sure that doesn't happen.

We can either stick our head in the sand like the beginning of WWII, or show some leadership. I've worked many years with Europeans and, respectfully, they are not leaders. Mr. President...unleash the hounds. Assad needs to be taught a lesson - even after this many days of telegraphing it.
