I get so tired of reading posts from "the bandwagon choir" on these threads. I guess some folks just have a hard time accepting that President Obama can be a mortal human being.
I'm glad he is going to throw this out there to Congress. I'm damn glad in fact.
First of all, it's a "no win situation". Damned if he does something, damned if he doesn't. Personally, I don't want him to do anything. But even his own party are divided, and some are even trashing him...if he does or doesn't; but the reich wingers' heads are exploding over this. "He's a coward, he's weak, he's indecisive", etc.
Smart move. Let THEM debate it. Let them expose how they want to deal with it. Then THEY can be accountable and on record.
It buys more time before he does something we'll ALL regret.
Abbas is on notice. France may do the "dumb thing" first. Maybe not; but it gives all the bitchers and belly-achers a chance to blow their steam. They are going to condemn Obama no matter what he does.
Is gassing 1,429 people so much worse than blowing them up, or shooting them to death? Worse than dropping incindiary bombs on them?
Hell, we dropped atomic bombs on major cities FULL of civilians. We dropped napalm on villages with civilians. I see little difference. It's ALL horrific.
The bottom line is, he hasn't done anything but "warn" yet. We have pulled out of one war. We're pulling out of the other; and we haven't started a new one ...yet. If Willard had won, we'd still be in Iraq, and we most possibly have a war with Iran by now, and boots on the ground in Egypt, Lybia and now, Syria.
Oh yea of so little faith. With supporters like you, who needs enemies?
