“By consult, he means have a beer with Obama while Obama tells Boner what he’s going to do.”

You are right. The Republican Party might as well just merge
with the Dimocraps. America needs a “Free Republic party”.

[LachlanMinnesota]

If the United States is not at risk, does the 60 day statutory “free war pass” apply?

I see no threat to US national Security justifying intervention.

In fact, there are more threats to the US if we do intervene.

Does Obama really think that the opposition not react at all?

Or does he want that reaction, so he can further clamp down on our civil rights?

A problem presented, a reaction demanding action, and a solution provided. The formula for dictatorship.

[lurk]

Right. See Mr Boehner putting an invisible phone up to his ear and mouthing the words “Call me” with a wink.

[PghBaldy]

“Consult” with Congress? Shouldn’t Congress declare war? Consult? I think Boehner is confused about Separation of Powers, t the very least.

[ought-six]

What’s this? Boehner sobered up enough to make a coherent utterance?

[HerrBlucher]

LOL!

[CapnJack]

Or you’ll do what Bonehead?

The man is a complete disgrace.

[LibLieSlayer]

If he goes ahead and attacks syria without you consent boehner... will you get drunk, cry or both?

[LibLieSlayer]

“I can’t help thinking this is a distraction for something domestically...”

What scandals??? See... it worked.

[Bon mots]

I don’t want the Muslim Brotherhood running Syria and on Israel’s northern border.

We don't want them running Washington either, but they now do.

[xzins]

Whether the reason or not, Obama would like the “Syria Attack” on the news when the monthly unemployment numbers come out IF Gallup’s mid-month survey was correct about it jumping back up to 8.9% or so.

[xzins]

If we take down Assad’s regime which rebel power group will take over. I heard that there are 9 of them and that 7 of the 9 are linked to al Qaeda in one way or another.

So, take down Assad in favor of al Qaeda. Been there done that. Doesn’t work.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks xzins.

[liberalh8ter]

Or what, Boehner? It’s not like Obama faces any real consequence in doing so. This ‘man’ and his objections are a joke.

[SunkenCiv]

• Obama and his team contradict past statements on war powers, Syria
• Will Obama go to Congress before attacking Syria?
• Lawmakers to Obama: Syria strikes need our OK
• The new Marx Brothers
• New poll: Syria intervention even less popular than Congress
• Americans Would Rather Get a Root Canal or a Colonoscopy than Launch War Against Syria
• Pitchfork Patrick Buchanan: Congress Should Veto Obama's War -- OpEd
• Obama doesn't need Congress to intervene in Syria
• Engel, Corker: U.S. action in Syria may not wait
• Sen. Corker predicts Obama will take military action against Syria (Yet ANOTHER Hussein war?)
• How can Obama take us to war in Syria without asking congress?
• The Lawless Dictator

No such thing as must when it comes to The One. I would think he'd want to share the responsibility on this one. There being no good guys in Syria, the good guys won't win.

And if he DOESN’T, Boehner will cry and pull a tantrum. He might even pout.
