    Iraq presented no threat to the United States. Republicans and Democrats alike are responsible for the Duopoly's catastrophic, insane Iraq stupidity. They have only succeeded in creating another Iran clone.

    congressional republican support for the Iraq war was nearly unanimous whereas a majority of democrats in congress voted against it. even those who did vote for it were clear that their vote was an authorization to use force only when all other methods had been completely exhausted. Bush violated the spirit of the use of force resolution.

    Regarding Syria... there is no doubt that it puts all of the civilized western world between a rock and a hard place. Obama certainly did not put us there... and we are certainly not alone there. Dealing with Assad's barbarism is pretty much a lose-lose situation, because neither side of that conflict looks to become our allies at the end of it all, regardless. I think that the US must, therefore, stand with those Syrian citizens who were killed with chemical weapons and do what we can to see that no more of their fellow countrymen are slaughtered that way.

    The resolution authorized President Bush to use the Armed Forces of the United States "as he determines to be necessary and appropriate"...

    The Warlord Obama won't get that same blank check, will he?

    He wanted to interfere in Libya. He wanted to interfere in Egypt.

    Now he wants to interfere in Syria.

    What part of "use the Armed Forces of the United States as he determines to be necessary and appropriate"...is confusing you?

    Now it seems The Warlord Obama wants to attack Syria without allies, public support or Congressional approval.

    The only reason that R's are against Obama bombing Syria is because of.........Obama, he's a Democrat, if this was Mitt "tax cheat" Romney they'd be 100% for it.

    Its like healthcare, the ACA is originally a Republican idea, Mitt Romney's to be exact, they were good to go with it while he was in Mass. and would be good to go today if he was pres., its all partisan bullshit, always is on the part of Repubs. I'd be willing to bet that on 9/11 if Gore were pres. Repubs would've been against going after Bin Laden

    Can you cite any evidence to support your unfounded assertion that I "like it when the R ones go all cowboy"?

    Did Bush ask for and get Congressional approval to go into Iraq with a majority of Americans supporting his actions?

    Why didn't Obama ask Congress before he was forced to?

    No evidence, I suppose, just unbridled speculation?
