I voted for this man twice, but I've always said that if he commits troops or military without congressional approval I would turn on him. This will be the last straw for me if we attack Syria without complete agreement from Congress and Senate.

The way I see it, there really is very little difference between a Republican or a Democrat President. Certainly in the realm of foreign policy. Oh, there may be some lukewarm disagreement on a few domestic issues like spending priorities, nominating federal judges, environmental policy, same-sex marriage ... that sort of thing. Foreign policy? They are pawns of the Military-Industrial Complex.
And IF he attacks Syria with Congressional approval, will you think Obama's OK or put Congress on the poopy list too?
Personally, I'd like to see Congress demand we end our world police act immediately.
I think we're going to end up in Syria regardless.
AQ has been found to have chemical weapons and the capability to make chemical weapons.
The world's worst nightmare has come true..the terrorists have WMDs now.
So Congress says No. If the rebels (al-Nusra who are growing in power and members and is AQ) continue to use chemical weapons then we'll go in there.
Congress says Yes, we go in there and drop a few hundred bombs giving al-Nusra the advantage to topple Assad.
al-Nusra has the most money, is the most equipped and is the most experienced in Syria (they came from Iraq and Libya).
Thousands are defecting from the other rebel groups to join al-Nusra.
al_Nusra gets power, which they will if rebels win, then AQ just got hold of the cache of WMDs that Assad has.
funny how Obama and Hillary were all for this man to be in
when Syria was in shambles before they did nothing but cheer
this is the outcome
of their failed policies!!!
Impeach Obama
that seems to be rumbling
around
and he is so concerned
he does not call Congress back early for a vote
no, he goes and plays another round of golf!!
Obama is a hack nothing more
glad some are waking up

It's a real shame you won't be able to vote for him a third time eh?
I hope there are enough dems and enough TEA party Repubs to stop this crap in Congress, and further hope that Obumer won't strike without congress' approval.

What bothers me is our willingness to take sides when there is no side that is our side.
While I think it disgraceful for an alleged national leader to attack his own people I don't see any reason to believe toppling him would automatically lead to a better life for the Syrian people and be of benefit to the US.
I'm a devout non-interventionist, especially in the ME where conflict has existed since long before the US was a twinkle in the eyes of the founders and is not likely to be resolved by the new kid on the block.
I think we can only remain free by being strong internally, not by lame attempts at changing the world

And if AQ has chemical weapons, they will not be dissuaded from using them based on the fact that the US once lobbed some cruise missile at Assad after he purportedly used them. That probably works with a Saddam, an Assad, or Khadafy, but probably not with true believer jihadists.
Hence if we do strike Assad, we probably need to do it in such a way that will not strengthen the rebels, or weaken Assad. So what is really the point? The whole thing is an Alice in Wonderland saga.
