I think Putin just threw a really big pipe wrench in to Obama’s plans

I think its because Americans started asking how another war can be started without Congress declaring it.

I think we are all heartily sick of the abuse of our citizen soldiers at the hands of the internationalists.

Some of us do remember Congress’ duties to the American citizen, and how things were before our Congressmen abdicated to the free traitors and their internationalist goals.

Not enough. Both houses should be called into emergency session.

Responses under consideration: Obama speech condemning the Syrians as being as bad as Republicans; calling a UN meeting at which nothing is done; calling in the Syrian ambassador for a really good talking to; having Michelle rewrite their menus; and, the most extreme, fire a volley of cruise missiles and smoke an aspirin factory.

And once again, silence from the other side of the aisle. No calls for BIPARTISAN RESOLUTION BEFORE RUSHING TO WAR!! Not at all? Simply amazing.....NO opposition party in Washington right now.....

Meet tonight, illegally fire missiles tomorrow with no approval - right before the long weekend. Golf. Did I miss anything?

No. Just the GOP hacks who support Obama.
Why doesn’t Bonehead have a vote in the house?
Is he afraid that the GOP supporters of this debacle will be exposed?

They should be exposed. Have a vote!
