Senate Panel Backs Use of Force Against Syria
« on: September 04, 2013, 03:30:19 PM »
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved a resolution Wednesday authorizing President Barack Obama to conduct military strikes against Syria.

The 10-7 vote came after the panel added a provision stating that U.S. policy aims to "change the momentum on the battlefield" in the Syrian civil war, in order to force President Bashar al-Assad to agree to a negotiated settlement that ends the conflict and paves the way for a democratic government. The full Senate and House must still approve the resolution.

Most definitely NOT a surprise.

And Barry's gang of sycophants, i.e., most of Congress, will follow suit shortly.  :whatever:

My mother, GRHS, always said the Democrats will lie you into war, blame Republicans, then expect them to bail them out of it.  She was a smart woman, seldom wrong about Democrats, a fact that took me years to realize.

FWIW NHSparky:  Mean Jeanne is now in play.  We need a PEACE candidate to run against the blood thirsty Mean Jeanne the Kindergarten Queen.

Quote

The resolution passed with a bipartisan margin of 10-7, with one member, Sen. Edward Markey (D., Mass.), voting "present."

Seven Democrats voted for the resolution: Mr. Coons, Robert Menendez of New Jersey, Barbara Boxer of California, Benjamin Cardin of Maryland, Jean Shaheen of New Hampshire, Dick Durbin of Illinois and Tim Kaine of Virginia. They were joined by Republicans Bob Corker of Tennessee, and Mr. McCain and Jeff Flake of Arizona.

Ed Markey is the replacement for Horseface for those who are playing along at home.

To call Queen Jeanne a whore would be unkind to those who sell their bodies for money.

Listen to Obama in 2007.  Look at what he's doing today.

Yeah, that's a Nobel Peace Prize type of guy right there.  Asshat.

And Queen Jeanne?  Toast.  One and done.  Get your resume updated.

The Senile Senior Senator from the Granny State, Jeanne, the Dowager Queen.  She just gets a little confused from time to time all she knows is the line  "My president, right or wrong."   She has forsaken the base.  Primary Jeanne the Kindergarten Queen.  She is not progressive enough.  She is a Republicon in Democratic clothing...... :rotf:

Yet as bad as Queen Jeanne is, Che-Pelosi is an braindead brown nosing rubber stamp.  I really do think she needs an extra staffer to keep her watered and remind her to breathe.

NBC poll has it 7 to 1 against (5k for 35k against). Meathead is going to bomb them whether Congress ok's it  or not. Repubs have the Democrats by the gonads but Bonehead is too stupid to figure it out.

The whole thing is a political ploy. Wag the dog and rally the troops before the 2014 elections.

Backfired. Big time. 
Al Queda is the side we'll be helping. People don't want this war. The world doesn't want anything to do with this.
Congress will vote it down... so that leaves the rats in a bind.

1) Obama backs down in utter defeat, and may drag 2014 down with him.
2) Obama bombs anyways, angering the people, getting servicemen killed, and drags down 2014 with him.

The only upside I can see is if boots go on the ground, the military brass can put the gays in the front lines.

Obama bombs Syria, and Israel is attacked and more terrorists attacks happen in the US.

I think Obozo's speech to sell this one is going to be a day late and a dollar short.  The public has pretty thoroughly made up its mind on this BS.

Knowing how they keep getting tripped up with their deeds turning into scandals and disasters, it makes me very nervous he's going to give this speech on the eve of 9/11. 

I have a very bad feeling......

There might be something to the timing of this. He might think in his twisted pea brain that if he can link it to that date somehow, he has his goal in the bag.
