We haven't heard a word in the U.S. media about the bloodbath and chaos in Egypt since this Syrian mess rose to the top of the headlines. Egypt cannot have suddenly become a sanctuary of peace and tranquility. News of our involvement there was coming out as bungled and flip floppy. Same thing with what we were really doing in Benghazi. This decision by us on attacking Syria is a chance to look decisive and transparent.
I sincerely hope you are wrong.

A lot pointing to the political games here, but I am going to ignore that for the time being. My problem now is that the President is making it worse, in my opinion. He now talks as if he was always coming to congress and everybody including his shocked staff knows that is not so. He talks as if the "red line" is not his...he did not do that. If they do not pass and he starts to blame congress for inaction, and if they do pass, and it backfires and he blames congress....deal is sealed then.

BUT....and those who have been on here for awhile know this hurts...but for now I will give him the benefit of the doubt on this.
