UK parliament votes NO to military action against Syria. Damn, what now Obama?

Quote from Ricter:

If Obama joins an allied direct intervention in Syria then he's a militant thug, but if Obama does not join an allied direct intervention in Syria then he's a gutless pacifist.

Actually rectum Obongo has already proven to be both.

Or he could have just kept his mouth shut in the first place if he needs a permission slip to do something. Tough guy Posers have trouble doing that.

That's immaterial to my point. Even if he had been silent, if he attacks he's a thug, if he doesn't he's gutless.
 
Quote from Grandluxe:

I think Obama is trying to get out of this one by deferring to Congress. At this point, he knows he made a really bad mistake by shooting his mouth off and is trying to shift the responsibility.

If Congress passes it, he will say okay this is what YOU want.

If Congress doesn't authorize, Obama will say it's the damn republicans fault.

And your point is immaterial to my point. Leaders MUST lead, They must make decisions. Hand wringers don't want that. You're trying to explain and excuse the hand wringing. I'm saying we don't need or want a hand wringer in the first place. Leaders don't beg for permission slips. They make a convincing argument for people to follow.

Obama makes case to Congress for Syria military action
"U.S. president to present evidence of chemical attack, following White House statement that government has 'high confidence' Assad's government was responsible."

"U.S. President Barack Obama's top advisers were to make their case for limited military strikes against Syria to the full Senate on Saturday, presenting evidence of a chemical weapons attack last week that the White House says killed more than 1,400 people.

"Obama has broad legal powers to take military action. While he has said he has not made a final decision, he has made it clear that he believes the United States must do something to hold the Syrian government accountable for the attack.

"But U.S. lawmakers have pushed for more information about Obama's intentions in Syria, with many expressing reservations about the cost and impact of potential strikes.

Sounds like "U.S. lawmakers" are the handwringers here.
