???????????????????????????????
American people overwhelmingly vote NO.
International community votes NO.
UN votes NO.

All the above happen after viewing both sides of the story.

Minority reports graciously noted.

btk

....he has ignored these deaths to a degree for a few years

....he has ignored previous chemical attacks in Syria

....he promised help with rebels about 2/3 months ago and nothing has happened yet.

BUT those acts are typical of our current administration, and I do not think are part of any political motivation.

Having said that, I am suspicious of the sudden turn around in going to congress, which admittedly shocked everyone including the Secy of State and other advisors. That turn around and his talking as if that never happened does make me very cautious.

Say what you want, our president is an awesome politician. Problem is we need a US statesman right now and not a politician. Politically, he has put himself in a position of win-win. No matter how the vote, he blames congress...shrewd move.

I just wish he would become a statesman, and with all the arm twisting going on, lets just say I get edgy.
