Why any individual in Congress would vote for unilateral military action that does not serve our national security interests is beyond me.
Some may rebutt, "But they used chemical weapons and that's not right."
Fine, show me the right side. I'm pretty sure we're already at war with al qaeda and we HATE hezbollah.
Again, show me our national security interest.
"But the President said there is a red line and now we have to do something or else we look weak."
So the fuck what. The Prez was looking to look tough, made some bullshit statement, and now he's being served a shit sandwich. Eat the sandwich, talk about your golf game, and how you're looking forward to basketball season.
Oh, don't forget to add that dragging our nation into another war is not what Americans want right now, chemicals or not. If you want military action, get a coalition of many nations. If it doesn't include Jordan, Turkey and Israel, then drop it. Those are three nations with real national security interests with respect to Syria. Perhaps even include Iraq.
Is war or some form of military action in the middle east for 23 years enough yet?
