Speaker of the House John Boehner called on President Barack Obama Monday to make a decision on the Syrian conflict, but not without the approval of congress first.
"The Syrian regime has blatantly crossed President Obama's red line, the White House has acknowledged, by using chemical weapons on its people," the Ohio Republican wrote in a statement. "The options facing the president are complicated, have far-reaching ramifications, and may require significant resources."
"That's why, if he chooses to act, the president must explain his decision publicly, clearly, and resolutely," he added.
"The president is commander-in-chief. With that power comes obligations," the Speaker wrote. "One, of course, is to consult with Congress on the options he sees as a viable response.
"This consultation has not taken place, but it is an essential part of the process. And meaningful consultation should happen before any military action is taken."
"More than just to Congress, the president has an obligation to the American people to explain the rationale for the course of action he chooses; why it's critical to our national security; and what the broader strategy is to achieve stability," he wrote.
This is especially important, the Speaker explains, since "surveys have shown that the American public is hesitant to intervene in Syria."
The latest Reuters/Ipsos poll showed that only 25 percent of Americans support military action in Syria, while 46 percent do not, even if the Syrian government was found using chemical weapons against its own people.

SURE! Just like he did for Libya, right?
0bama is itchin’ to install Al Qaeda as Syria’s new leader, just as he wanted to install the MB while asking Mubarak to step down. 0bama scoffs at Congress in dismay that they still think they’re relevant.
SURE! Just like he did for Libya, right?
SURE! Just like he did for Libya, right?
No time to consult Congress! This is an emergency!!! Just like Libya where all 0bama got was four bloody T-shirts. The Dictator is going around the world removing Dictators so that in the end he is the world’s only Dictator.
Oh, come on.
The only person who is more limp - d**ked, more spineless, and disrespected more than the Obamadork is bonehead.
Nothing will happen.
Until CW-II.
Why? He never has before. What would you do if he went against your wishes? Ans: NOTHING you’re consummate wimps! IOW you have let this pretender to the presidency become a dictator because of your own personal ambitions, skewed political views and consummate fear of what the New York Times might write about you. Bah! Humbug to you all!
Notice that Boehner did not even bother to ask for proof that the Assad regime even did this!
Fix is in.
Carney said today in WH presser that they knew that Syrian regime was responsible for WMD attack because they had control of WMDs stockpiles at all times.
Yet, right after Benghazi, Panetta admitted losing track of Syrian WMDs and said that some could have fallen into hands of ‘rebels’.
Both cannot be true!
Folks..they are lying!!

Bohener would have to have a spine and grow a set for him to do anything. nothing herr ober obama does is questioned by the GOP.They merely speak words and have no actions. I won’t even vote for one at this point.Voted since 1968 now i don’t give a tinkers darn what any of them say or do..the death spiral is ongoing. So I am getting myself ready for a bumpy ride.
there will be more gyrations than at a Miley Cyrus concert.

They are always lying. There is no way in the world for common people to know what the real truth is. We can only rely on God’s truth. I don’t know when... but eventually there will be a bigtime war over there. It is coming. That’s one truth we can know.
Hahahahahahaha—husseins answer to THAT.
0bambi is so scared of Congress because, well, never mind.
Instead of talking about it, he and McConnell should propose resolutions in the house and the senate. Even Reid might be hard pressed to deny his fellow senators a right to bloviate.
And if Obama violates the will of congress, it sort of clarifies things.
If he attacks Syria without Congress’s approval ahead of time, he will attack with a fundamentally weak hand unable to sustain any action for over 60 days.
Those camel jockeys are very perceptive when it comes to that sort of thing.
An attack without Congress’s approval will not end well for the Obamanator.
They already think he’s a pussy and an attack without the basic preparation will be a disaster for us.
How did this escape everyone's attention? Was it because we were all distracted by George Bush's lies that Saddam Hussein had WMDs, when it was really Assad in Syria who was manufacturing them?
Is that the excuse that we're now going to hear?
It's the lie that's been going on since Ted Kennedy made his 2004 "Lie after lie after lie" floor speech in the Senate.

Keep waiting boehner...
Boehner- “Look at my hand- no my other hand”
Does anyone really think Obama cares what Boehner says?
Obama is going to ignore Congress and do what ever he wants to do knowing Boehner and the Republicans will do nothing about it, well in Boehner’s case he may cry.
What a sad pitiful man.
