Congressional aides in both parties tell me that the chances of President Obama winning House approval for military action in Syria are so bad they actually doubt the House would ultimately vote on it if failure seemed certain.
Two new whip counts of House members by ABC News and the liberal Firedoglake web site show a majority of House members firmly or leaning against intervention. The Washington Post’s more conservative count stands at 204 “no” votes, only 13 short of the majority needed to kill the president’s request.

-——considering Obama has ZERO allies -——
He has allies and has had from very early on. The provisional government of Syria is up and running in Turkey where there are active military advisers from turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
A thread earlier today described the planning process held last week involving all of the above.
Boehner forgets he is a member of the opposition party, or what is supposed to be the opposition party”
What was I thinking. I forgot we had an opposition party.
"The international damage that will be caused by leaving 'egg on Barry's face' will harm the USA."
I personally believe that America's credibility will be ENHANCED by voting against Obama's ill-considered, ineffective and cowardly plan (hit and run). If OUR elected representatives stand up against Obama, as WE THE PEOPLE DEMAND, the world will see that the American people do not support this empty suit of a [p]resident.
Maybe the best way to avoid a messy war is for the House to imitate Obama’s dithering over things like approving the XL Pipeline.
Oh, sorry! The President has not filed an Environmental Impact Statement for his “proposed” war. We need that! Call us back when you have one...
Oh, sorry! That study you gave us didn’t cover ALL the possible scenarios. Call us back when you have a better study....
Oh, sorry! Zzzzzzzzzz

Obama is not the type of person who is a good loser. I think that the only reason that Obama is in this mess is because he was having a hissy fit over the Snowden affair.
Then Odumbo can say, well, I asked them to vote and they refused to vote.
I’m still waiting for some of Mother Pelosi’s famous sweeteners to be offered.
That picture is actually Naval Aviation. But I see your point.
Our Lords have decided the matter, now shut up.
Are they kidding? Are they nuts? It’s high time he was HUMILIATED!!!! Humiliate the SOB, show the world what an idiot we have for a president. What’s to lose? What difference does it make? His credibility is already shot.
Geeze - this whole thing makes me SICK.
Then they ALL will have blood on their hands once WW3 gets underway. Obama should fly his skinny arse over there and personally throw in the first grenade. I’ll stay here and watch.
God help us. Watching Obama coming all unglued will be ugly.
Can't! Boner's congressional phone lines are constantly full, even if you wanted to leave a message. You can never get through to any live person. At least I can't!
So, 0 got P3tin'd and our affirmative action prez can't handle the truth.
Do I have that right?
