Reuters Jeff Mason and Mark Felsenthal report: John Boehner, Republican speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, said on Tuesday he would support President Barack Obama's call for military action in Syria and urged his colleagues in Congress to do the same. Speaking to reporters after a meeting with Obama at the White House, Boehner said the United States had to respond to the use of chemical weapons in Syria and show allies that America would stand up when necessary.

Rep. Bohner I am done!

"Hey, Boehner, welcome aboard. Just calling to remind
you to have your aide give Valerie your offshore
account number so she can wire-transfer your war profits."

"How much you gettin'? Well, we budgeted $50 billion a
day for the bombing, I figure we can siphon of couple
billion for ourselves."

"Frankly, I wasnt gonna bomb the Syrians. Kerry's full
of it. We dont have proof of poison gas."

"But when I heard Neocon Richard Perle got enough
Iraq war profits to start his own oil company, I
figured why the hell not."

Why is it that every time I see a photo of Boner or McLame my mental image is that of them tied to a post in front of a brick wall with a blindfold and a cigarette dangling from their quivering lips as Sgt. Garcia gives the command to raise rifles”........

Amash should push for Hastert Rule on Syria.

And if the Speaker ignores the Hastert Rule on an issue of this magnitude, the majority of the House should put forth a vote to remove him as Speaker.

Exactly.

The big two...governments go to war when their country is attacked and when they are in trouble with their own people.

Guess what we are dealing with now....

[Major Matt Mason]

So, the proper thing to do is recapture the Republican Party.

You can't recapture something that you never had to begin with. I'm not sure that the GOP has ever truly been a conservative party. Fiscally, perhaps, although even that is pretty shaky. The reality is that we have two big government parties running (ruining?) the country. As soon as Bush I took office, whatever conservatism had crept into the party while Reagan was in office nearly disappeared and has only been seen in fits and starts when the party wants to sucker the base into voting for them. But the two-party system is clearly a charade at this point.

boner is an asshole!

Under these rules of engagement we will now have to attack Rwanda, Burma, Kenya, Botswana, Ethiopia, ...

[esoxmagnum]

I suspect the only thing they will be bombing are targets that could give evidence of the US supplying arms to the MB from Benghazi.

Both the GOPe (McCain and Graham) probably had their hands in that as well, thus the need to launch some cruise missiles.

There ain’t no crime if there ain’t no evidence.

They are so certain it will be a limited strike, followed by drones, that this is the only thing I can think of. Mafia style.

Somebody want to photoshop a pitcher of Kool-Aid onto this table? Color Boner's glass as well.

Why does Pelosi look so frightened? It's not like her constituents are going to rise up against her.
