In reply to Badtux. Most of the effort in the House will be expended on trying to figure out what Zero really wants to do, so they can oppose it, while the Senate will be filled with the squawks from the chickenhawks trying to prove how macho they are. At least we aren't going to kill anyone for a while, which is always a good thing. The ships in the Med can make port calls in Greece and Italy which need the business.

Well, Barry apparently decided you were right. He gave a fine speech, and then dumped it all in Congress’s courtyard. Of course, he can read opinion polls as well as I can, and knows there’s maybe 17% support for a strike against Syria, so he figures he can’t win by bombing Syria on his own.

Now to see what Congress does once they get back from vacation…
