I'm still uncertain how far we want to go to stop things of this nature. The folks in charge have largely imposed something of an arbitrary setup on the world since WW2 but it grows like all things government.

Regardless, I have no doubt we'd go after Kim Jong Un, heck I suspect they are chomping at the bit to do so.

Basically, a no-win military situation has been turned into a win-win political one by el presidente.

BRILLIANT.

Duncan (S.C.-TP) was in full throated OCD whine about Benghazi, IRS, NSA and Area 51 lil' green aliens. Everything except Syria. I can't believe such people actually get elected to the house but then he's from So. Carolina.

I thought you were against the bombing?

Bob, I think the left's coming online (most you'alls sure weren't a coupla days ago!) because failing in Congress would be the biggest failure of Obama's Presidency.

Just a guess

I think you're dreaming but don't let me stop you, Pete. See bolded...If the House kills the response to Assad using Sarin gas on civilians? The blowback will hurt the tea besodden in the upcoming elections.

Like I said before, once the evidence is in, let the President make his case for military action before congress. Now that the evidence is here, I support the CINCs decision with that qualifier. I don't believe that in this case he has the power to sidestep the War Powers Act. The Senate commitee has approved their version and will vote next week. My sweaty crystal ball say they will approve it, bipartisanly (sic). The (fun) House will also approve, somehow, I think, maybe.

That added side benefit here is that the Teabagger caucus has to shit or get off the pot. Already, Rubio has killed any chance of a credible run for the White House in '16. Paul buried himself further, (if that's even possible).

According to BBC: the Jihadists are extremely wary.....they believe
they are the real target of proposed US attack.
