what are the chances Congrees will give authorization?

[theDoctorisIn]

You are all nuts.

100% congress WILL approve military action. You are all blind.

BTW, we are already starting. Congress approval is simply a minor annoyance to Obama and he ios going to force them to capitulate.

Obama isn't going to "force" them to do anything.

Obama doesn't want to go into Syria, he's looking to use congress to give him an out.

But they're probably going to call his bluff.

Incorrect.

Obama knows that the scam consists of the US intervening in Syria because Assad gassed the children (wink, wink)

They expect Iran and Lebanon to RETALIATE.

Obama will claim that mean Iran and Lebanon are criminal for for supporting Assad. Then the US will attack both Countries .

But Russia will not allow US troops in Afghanistan and Iran they will be dawn into the fray . Then you will have WW III.

So Obama wants to make sure that Congress understands the ramifications.

Wow. We'll have to write down the date then, since that'll be the first time since he took office that the House did that. I guess it depends on what they think he wants. If they think he wants to go in, they'll say no. If they think he doesn't, they'll say yes.

Either way, they'll be screwed because it will look like capitulation.

Nonsense.

This isn't, and has never been about chemical weapons. This about oil pipelines, and whether the pipeline through Syria will end in Iran or Saudi Arabia.

This about France, Saudi Arabia and Qatar on one side, and Iran, Russia and China on the other. None of the parties involved actually want Assad out of power.

[Mac1958]

You have every right to your beliefs, but you are on the wrong side of this. End of story.

Being on the side of peace is the wrong side?

Oh how quickly we forget the repercussions of the Iraq war and repeat the exact same mistakes. Right here there are so many already willing to jump right on the war bandwagon for nothing more than a suspicion that the regime is killing terrorists with chemicals. The sad part is that there is really only one other power block over there that might take over and they are connected with the real threat.

That is what we are doing – putting the true extremists into power.

Somehow our national narcissism prevents us from seeing the CONSTANT unintended consequences of our military actions.

Holy crap, look at Kerry's recent statements. Those words could have been coming from Dubya himself. Word for word.

Amazing how short memories can be. Maybe that's a function of narcissism, who knows.

Gee, what a reasoned and well thought-out response.

 

[boedicca]

I'm guessing the odds are pretty low. Obama has not been able to articulate a rational objective and a strategy to achieve it. Just lobbing few bombs is not going to magically transform Assad into a unicorn riding light bringer.

That is NOT the reason for launching the Tomahawks.

The purpose is to FORCE Iran and Lebanon to help Syria.

then

Israel wins
Saudi Arabia wins
War Profiteers win
The political party supporting the Zionists and Saudi Arabia wins

No, probably not.

It MIGHT, however, give him a good scare so he knows the next time he does this, the consequences will be higher.

That's how I'd bet. The silver lining will be clear documentation of who the enemy is.

Republicans will look very odd if the vote against military action in Syria.

No, the entire world thinks it's a bad idea. Congress needs to put that narcissistic war monger in his place. I hope they vote it down.
