"Mein Fuhror, I can VALK!"
Shooting an Archduke was a pretty limited action in 1914.
“Asking” Congress is nothing more than creating a scapegoat.
“...This is a big deal, and the President only made the big decision last night against the better judgement of his entire senior staff. ...”
The senior staff of the Dork-O-Dent has no judgement whatsoever...let alone “better” judgement. A greater collection of missfits, felons, and folks who could never hold a job in the real world does not exist.
They fit the wimpoid well.
You know how Obama is when he gets mad.
Somebody take him golfing PLS!
In other words, he read the polls. And decided to line-up a patsy upon whom he could shift the blame if this thing goes badly.
He probably met with Axelrod and Jarrett, and they concluded that delaying the strike would be politically helpful for the 'Rats 2014 mid-terms and not so much for the Pubbies.
Was that before, during, or after he double-bogeyed the 14th hole?
How long has the President been unilaterally ordering attacks against Syria?
My WAG is that the sneaky Ruskies have two cards up the sleeves. One is a weapon system that will have some effect against the navy surface ships, or one of their smaller airdef systems can actually take tacair out of the game (I think the S-300 large systems are targets if not enough of them deployed). Second and I think this the most logical, the sneaky Ruskies want some crazy mullah Akbar nutter to launch something into Ras Tanura in Saudi, hello oil prices. As for “our” side it is about the petro dollar and the flow of hydrocarbons to the West and not East (thanks Obama for making sure the white people of France has cheaper nattygas)
“Obama Was This Close to Bombing Syria”
Yes, he was...
And then he got the phone call from the NSA that Putin had just ordered his ships in the MEd to “Prepare for a serious confrontation” with the United States, and sh*t his pants....

Funny how no one in the US Media is even daring to talk about this.
"Mein Fuhror, I can VALK!"
BS! Zero soiled his pants when he FINALLY decided to go after Bin Laden. He can’t make a decision on his own. His thinking now is let congress get the blame when the you know what hits the you know what, or better yet, blame Bush!
