Syria has used chemical weapons. Now what?

As a constitutional law professor, Obama actually made a wise decision to go to Congress. Probably a win/win situation for him politically, too bad it might not be for the rest of the country.

Raytheon will like it. Wall Streeters will love it. The rest of the country doesn't really give a shit, they're disengaged from all the partisan bullcrap coming out of Washington.

Me? I'll get a kick outta watching the Tea Party disintegrate over this.

That remains to be seen, on all counts. I have my doubts.

actually I am hoping this is where the McCain wing of the Party takes the Republicans back......it is really surprising that Boehner is supporting this without ....

and the delay will make Assad hold back at least.....he would be insane to do it again at this point in time

Rand Paul is the biggest loser.....supported Snowden, will eventually look weak in not coming out against a gas attack.....whether we strike or not

Gotta love Grumpie McCain's twitter response.

In the meantime smart money says that radical Islamists are infiltrating the Syrian opposition favored by US.

Assad is not a radical either?

tell me how what Assad has done to one of his neighborhoods is any different than what Al Quaeda did to New York. His bodycount is about 50 percent of 9-11 from one missle attack last week on his own city. So Assad can kill with impunity because of your fear of radical Islam? You are really starting to scare me.

Basically your OK with Assad? Is that what I am reading in all your posts?

He is not a radical Islamist. He is fighting radical Islamists. (the well
organized and discipline Jabhat Al Nusra)

Radical Islamist has indicated and has shown a determination to get us anywhere.

The sectarian destruction in that region is endemic.

There is nothing significant we can do about that....Iraq is still burning.

Our proposed action in Syria is a face saving one.....to save the face of
a president and implicitly the face of a nation. The latter is the reason
why there is such a disparate combination of ideologues supporting the
president.

Well it will sure make the GOP look stupid, along with some Dems as well.
