Yup....Obama must be worried that the war will mess up his plans to dump 50 million third world immigrants into the USA with amnesty. War by other means leftist style....

Of course he won't. That would take big brass ones and he ain't that guy. There's a host of reasons why he chose to drag Congress into this, and chief among them was providing cover and blame-shifting later. A disaster in Syria on his own, which is nearly certain, would lead to his removal from office, or at least an attempt.

And don't forget he's the guy that favors "leading with his behind (or some-such)" and voting "present." He'll slink away from Syria right quick when the initiative stalls in the House.

The same mentally ill agendas of Obozo Liar, Queeg McAinal, Kerry the Faux Vietnam hero, and congressional rats wanting to bomb Syria could apply to 9/11!

The only way to fix this is to bomb the Rebels/Al-Qaeda.

1. Syria is going to suck hard whether we strike or not, and Obama knows it.

2. So he seeks Congressional approval.

3. Doesn’t get it? He can blame “GOP obstructionists” for the mess in Syria.

4. DOES get it somehow? He’s got cover. “Hey, Congress approved it.” (That worked SO well for Bush with Dems on Iraq, right?)

“You Will, You Won’t”

You will you won’t
You do you don’t
You’re saying you will
But you know you won’t
You may you might
Your chest gets tight
You say you love day
But you come out at night
While your thinking, thinking, thinking up a storm in you
All the things you’re thinking, are they false, are they true
You know the dipsydoodle rag, it tells no lie
But all the time you’re thinking, well you’re tricking your mind

You will you won’t
You do you don’t
You’re saying you will
But you know you won’t
You may you might
Your chest gets tight
You say you love day
But you come out at night

Well the devil’s standing tall on the top of the hill
Pointing down his fork and betraying your will
You gotta make decisions whether old or new
Then god comes from the heavens and he’ll say to you

You will you won’t
You do you don’t
You’re saying you will
But you know you won’t
You may you might
Your chest gets tight
You say you love day
But you come out at night

Well I’ve tried so hard
I’ve tried so hard
To make it right
To make it right
I’m gonna bury my thoughts
And forget all my worries
Tonight

You will you won’t
You do you don’t
You’re saying you will
But you know you won’t
You may you might
Your chest gets tight
You say you love day
But you come out at night

......The Zutons

Although I think he still going on a nationwide address Tuesday to push for a strike. I don’t think there is anything to be lost by holding off — if the gas attacks or other provocations continue it will all be fuel for the next round.

He’s a laughing stock, one we are unfortunately stuck with until 2016. There’s no telling how much mischief will result from his unnecessary humiliation.


Unnecessary???? UNnecessary? What do you prefer? That he NOT be humiliated?

I want him humiliated into the dirt, over and over and over again. Neutered. Freaked out. P***ing in his pants. Trembling in fear. Wracked with shame. And then the final mental breakdown live on TV.

“President Barack Obama hinted Friday that he might not strike Syria if Congress rejects his authorization request”

Which implies that he might strike Syria if Congress rejects his request. So if that is the case, then why the fuch did he ask ‘em in the first place if he was planning on ignoring their rejection. Clearly, Obama doesn’t know whether to poop or wind his watch.

I find myself hoping it is not real — but I fear that it is all too genuine.

That would be the smart path to take, but not sure Obama is that smart.
