GOP success?

"I do not support a resolution authorizing the president to take military action in Syria.” - Dan Coats
 
“..if we were asked to vote on an authorization under these circumstances, I would vote ‘no.’” - Tom Cornyn
 
“...Ultimately, I’ve concluded that being credible on Syria requires presenting a credible response, and having a credible strategy. And for all the reasons I’ve indicated, this proposal just doesn’t pass muster.” - Mitch McConnell
 
“I think it's a mistake to get involved in the Syrian civil war.” - Randall Paul
 
“I have heard the President’s argument. It is weak and vague, in my judgment.” - Richard Shelby
 
“I am confident in our military’s readiness to execute any mission, but it’s our duty to put forth a bold strategy where our goal is to win. I cannot count on the administration to do that, therefore, I cannot vote to put our brave men and women in uniform in harm’s way.” - Sam Johnson
 
“I believe the President’s proposed military strike in Syria cannot achieve its stated objectives. In fact, I fear it will make things worse.” - Paul Ryan
 
Don't get me wrong, its okay to vote no. In fact in some instances its their job to vote no. But to vote no on this then castigate the president for not being more tough in Ukraine is pitiful. There was a better case for intervention in Syria than Ukraine and Putin knew that.

Additionally many of the Republicans basically said that it was because Obama was CIC that they were voting no, because they felt he was not able to put together a winning campaign.

Did Obama ask for military intervention in Syria? Do you think Democrats would have supported Military intervention in Syria? Did Michelle sound any different than Democrats in this regard?

Did the President say he wanted to invade Ukraine? When did he say that?

What proposal was it that didn't pass muster Counselor? Or do you think Congress should give Barackus Obamanous (the Imperial President) a blank check? Did you think Congress should have given Bush a blank check?
