Looks like he's listening and thinking, something all leaders ought to do. I sure wish George W. Bush had backpedaled, and so do thousands of American and Iraqi families.
Bush ASKED for approval BEFORE he declared he would do it alone if he had to. He went to Congress FIRST. And they said YES. he went to our allies and they for the most part said yes.
Obama declared he would invade and stated he would not ask Congress since they would turn him down. he then went to our allies and they said no as well.
This is nothing more then him facing the music for his own failures.
W lied to congress to get approval for Iraq which is needed for invasions, and no, NATO did not approve of the invasion. W and co. held their middle fingers up and invaded anyway.
Lobbing missiles into a county as a support role does not need congress' approval.
Obama is going up and beyond the call that he doesn't need to do per the constitution, to pander to the crybaby republicans, who are going to approve it anyway.
