Sen Bob Corker (R-TN) says Foreign Relations Committee “has significantly limited the president’s original authorization” on #Syria
McCain just threw the gasoline on the fire.
The most deliberative body on earth,....my ass. Suckers all. Willfully put their head in the noose for an idiot boy president.
Sen Bob Corker (R-TN)
Washington, D.C. office at 202-224-3344.
If you need to send documents to Senator Corker, please fax them to the D.C. office at 202-228-0566.
McCain’s Ammendment...:
......that the U.S. ‘strategy’ toward Syria should aim “to degrade the capabilities of the Assad regime to use weapons of mass destruction while upgrading the lethal and non-lethal military capabilities of vetted elements of Syrian opposition forces.”
He needs lessons:
“Surprise”…. is to be regarded as a substantive principle in itself, on account of its moral effect..... When it is successful in a high degree, confusion and broken courage in the enemy’s ranks are the consequences; and of the degree to which these multiply a success, there are examples enough, great and small.”
In modern terms, US Joint Publication 3-0, Joint Operations, counsels commanders to seize the initiative in order to
“Shock, demoralize, and disrupt the enemy immediately.... to seize and maintain the initiative, deny the enemy the opportunity to achieve its objectives, and generate in the enemy a sense of inevitable failure and defeat.”
The US has waited so long to respond to the chemical weapons attacks that it has effectively ceded any advantages of surprise and initiative to the Assad regime. The Assad regime knows an attack is coming or is likely to come in the near future. In addition to the overall forewarning of attack, the Assad regime is likely to get detailed updates from the Russian Navy as soon as the US Navy launches a TLAM attack.
Yes he threw gas on the fire...and we’re going to be supplying more arms etc....
This is a day of victory for the Jihadists......I am sick about this...sick of our Representatives. Every last one of them is a traitor to our country and our Military sons and daughters...
“The people who come up with this nonsense are truly morons of epic proportions”
Was it West who said we have 80 ‘Known’ Communists in our government.....our whole government has been corrupted...and those who may have been once good men equally so...there is no resistance to stop these people....and the public is not up to stopping it.
This Senate bill primarily seeks to save Barry’s hide by not obviously going afoul of the Constitution. He’ll negligently let his war get out of hand, nonetheless, as desired. The thought is at least he won’t be impeachable for his jumping in or letting it “go overtime”, as it surely will.

Rufus is a very handsome and intelligent looking fellow.
Lucky you!
He’s my congressman and better put on a good show.
He faces a town hall style meeting tomorrow night.
The guy had John Boehner in a month ago for a fundraiser and called himself part of a team led by Boehner.
He always joins with the 60-80 members who vote more conservative, then has Boehner in town to fundraise????
