Obama: US should intervene. No boots on the ground. Limited in scope.

[Wow! We can already foresee the unintended consequences.]

Disclaimer: Obama says he may attack tomorrow or next week or next month.

LOL

He is not going to do anything, but will seek authorization from Congress.

[THUD]

He is confident he can hold Assad responsible...

We can strike whenever we choose.

It will be effective to or row, next week, one month from now... I’m prepared to give that order.

But, national security, etc, democracy, we need to be an example of govt by the people, so I will seek authorization from congress.

“I guess the teleprompter could have told him 20th century by accident.”

Well, that justifies TOTUS’s “you got to be shi$$ing me” comment.
