Reuters Jeff Mason and Mark Felsenthal report: John Boehner, Republican speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, said on Tuesday he would support President Barack Obama's call for military action in Syria and urged his colleagues in Congress to do the same. Speaking to reporters after a meeting with Obama at the White House, Boehner said the United States had to respond to the use of chemical weapons in Syria and show allies that America would stand up when necessary.

But, but, but, king hussein said “MY military.” He also said “MY attorney general.”. So I guess we don’t count. LOL! Like we ever did in his feeble little brain. Me, me, my, my. I suppose he assumes that the “I” phone was named for him?

Boner, in his deep and sexy voice, said “America has always been the one that sticks our noses in everyone else’s business and we’re not going to stop now. Especially since the president, a man I truly love, has given me a chance to appear relevant.”

These people don’t give a damn what the people think. Does anyone know of any protests planned?

It is almost better for Boehner to have been bought and be venal than not to have been bought and be inconceivably stupid.

Whatever the origins of this betrayal, every effort must now be bent to destroy Boehner. He must be primaried, assuming that will not work, we must vote for the Democrat in his district. Boehner must be driven from office at all costs.

This combined with his inevitable sell out on immigration is intolerable and that means it will simply not be tolerated and Boehner's continued existence either as speaker or as representative cannot be countenanced.

“America has a compelling national security interest to prevent and respond to the use of weapons of mass destruction, especially by a terrorist state such as Syria, and to prevent further instability in a region of vital interest to the United States.”

By that logic, we should be attacking Iran, not Syria! I would vote to take out Iran’s nuke program. Syria is nothing without Iran.

“can’t wait to find out what they have on him”

No party financing for his 2014 opponent, just like last time.

I called my reps this morning saying no military action against Syria. Probably won’t do any good, but it may if enough people call.

Obama clearly has some serious dirt on Boehner.

I suspect JB is being blackmailed, as SCOTUSCJ Roberts and GEN Petraeus were.

Pres. Obama is right: debate & authorization by Congress will make our country & response in Syria stronger. http://t.co/Kc8YC0jJAr

That is the only explanation for this hack. Nothing else explains why
there is no opposition from him or any GOP leadership.

Didn’t you hear Pelosi? If we shoot a few missiles into Syria chemical weapons will never be used again. Her, boner and obama are going to stop weapons of mass destruction forever. The sad thing is I have to point out this is sarcasm.

This presents an unusual opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.

Boehner is absolutely pathetic. A disgrace.

If we survive as a country by the mid-term elections, there will be a purge to get rid of the losers in Congress.

Boehner will not be the Speaker of the House. He put the final nail in his coffin today. People are very angry about this Syrian farce. Obama and his minions will see that during the midterms.

The decisions that are being made today will have far reaching consequences, some that we can’t even anticipate.

Obama is a destroyer and his legacy will haunt us all.
