Christians being murdered and terrorized is nothing new in that part of the world. It's a huge mess and Obie has stepped in it pretty good but watch and learn how a master of politics works!
He may stumble, fumble and say stupid things but.....this conflict that he jumped into with both feet will not tarnish him before he leaves office, even if he does nothing, even if he puts boots on the ground or bombs the living daylights out of specific targets......The guy is the teflon Don of politics and he has many pawns who will fall before he does.
he Teflon craze started back awhile, remember "Teflon Ron"Nobahma did a smart thing by asking congress, they will wash his sins away.Thats what JFK should have done, and all the presidents after him. Saddam in Kuwait was a gutsy move and a right call by bush. So was afganistan.But after their butts we should have packed up our toys and came home, instead we started forcing democracy on folks. Democracy doesn't work that way. If folks want it THEY will fight for it.

I will say it again........since you've obviously forgotten.
* Bush 1 asked Congress to bomb IRAQ.............and he got approval.
* Bush 2 asked Congress to bomb and invade Afghanistan.......and he got approval.
* Bush 2 asked Congress to bomb and invade IRAQ............and he got approval.
* Clinton asked Congress to bomb Kosovo..........and the REFUSED, so he did it anyway. He finally got approval though.
NOBOMA asked Congress to bomb Syria.......Congress is still laughing their ASS off.

Congress's failure to get on board with BHO has nothing to do with BHO. It has to do with the fact that America is war-weary. And good for us.
This fighting to a draw, is expensive in American lives. Expensive to the tax payers. Korea Viet nam, Iraq and afganistan didn't solve anything.

Kygorski seems to think the past few presidents went all maverick, and "cowboy" and DIDN'T get approval from congress. He is WRONG.
Yet he continues to spew that horse crap.

No matter how far I searched, I could only find 5 congreeional declarations of war. I did find several use of force agreements. hats the difference ? Not much, that's true, except we won the declarations.
