One of the smartest moves our President has ever made!

118. I saw a comment . . .

I saw a comment that claimed Speaker John Boehner has said the House will only deal with the question of attacking Syria about a week and a half from now, when they would have returned to Washington normally. If Boehner follows through on that he will shoot the Republican Party in the foot yet again. Republicans can't stick their heads in the sand and hope this decision will just go away in a week or so.

The Speaker is, if that report proves to be true, acting like the pitiful coward we have always thought he was. His passing on a chance to have input on whether this country should go to war will not be well received, even by Conservatives. If he does find the courage to hold a vote in the House on attacking Syria, I can not pretend to know how it will be decided. If, on the other hand, Boehner appears to be dodging his responsibility to hold a vote on the question, I'm certain he will lead the Republicans into serious defeat in 2014.

The American people demand real leadership on this one. They do not want war, and they will be in a mood to punish hypocrites who deceptively lead them into one more pointless war.
