Obama Will Bomb Syria Without Congress
President Obama apparently is leaving the door open to moving ahead with a military strike on Syria even if Congress votes against it, adding to the confusion over the president's evolving position.
The president, in a surprise decision Saturday, announced he would seek a vote in Congress on launching a military attack against the Assad regime.
One senior State Department official, though, told Fox News that the president's goal to take military action will indeed be carried out, regardless of whether Congress votes to approve the use of force.
Other senior administration officials said Obama is merely leaving the door open to that possibility. They say he would prefer that Congress approve a military attack on the Assad regime, in response to its alleged use of chemical weapons, and will wait to see what Congress does before making any final decisions on authorizing military force.

congress in america does not exist you are now on full fascist mode, dismantle government is the only way out, however only the 99% can do it, the army will follow if the 99% act all together
ReplyDeleteThe "beige queen" is hoping and looking for a Congressional (Republican) scapegoat,...BUT he WILL go ahead with his attack on Syria if Congress refuses to "go along" with Obama's "red line" plan. So it would seem that the House of Representatives MUST concede to American citizens wishes NOT to attack Syria and NOT to waste any more of the "blood & treasure" of America,...OUR YOUTH in any more Middle East "adventures" initiated by Obama. The Sunni and Shia have been fighting each other for 5000 years (3000 years before Jesus walked the earth), and they will continue to fight each other ( when they have no one else to fight). Give them another 5000 years to determine a winner in the ever backward Muslim world...
ReplyDeleteThe Shia and Sunnis did not exist as separate groups more than even 1500 years ago. America only began to blackmail and bully the rest of the world from the time of Woodrow Wilson.
ReplyDeleteSince dropping atomic bombs on people ready to capitulate in Japan in 1945, America has been prevented from being a complete overbearing and mindless bully by the Soviet Union. The time for those idiots is thankfully passed, but the malevolence lingers on.
