to vote NO will make them look like wusses, and will give Obama a propaganda point to use against them, so I expect a strong majority of Republicans to vote in favor. Of course all Democrats will.

SO this was really a very clever move on Obamas part. He gets everyone out on the weak limb with him, he gains propaganda points by pointing to “bipartisan support”, and he stays out of the briar patch aka War Powers Act.

AND he gets to play golf...

I could be wrong, but I don’t think he’s going to get the backing he thinks he will.

This doesn’t get approved IMO. As I said, I may be way off base, but I don’t see support for it.

Oh yes, John McCain supports it. Enough said...

Russia is not moving warships to Syria for a boat show.
You have no clue what an intervention could do. Even limited action.

I only wish I could have seen The Swimmer squirm over this vote after what he did during Iraq.

Not really, most Americans are against it and in spite of our media it is generally known that icing Assad will mean the death of all Syrian Christians. I realize our government has little use for Christians, but many Americans still do.

I don’t think Congress will vote “yes”. Americans do not want this...what was the last poll? 9% support for getting involved in Syria??

The only people supporting this right now are Obama cultists and RINOs like Lindsey Graham and her boyfriend John McIgnorant.
