The New York Times: Ms Dowd of the uber liberal NYT writes the following on President Obama and Syria, " As commander in chief, Obama knows that if he doesn’t punish Bashar al-Assad, America and his presidency will be forever reduced. ".
Lets Get Real:
Even the uber liberal NYT gets the fact that IF Obama does not strike Syria after a NO vote in Congress he is finished in many respects, even IF POTUS does strike he will be the anti War Candidate would have gone to War without a UN Resolution or Congressional approval, ALL the Bush 43 bashing by the Oval would look very foolish, at least with Bush 43 got a Congressional approval for the Iraq War, and he had many UN Resolutions to back up his War from the view of the Bush 43 Oval, also Bush 43 had Tony Blair and the UK was part of the War effort, in the case of Syria ALL the UK can do after the UK Parliament said no to military action is to support from the sidelines. Well President Obama wanted the job, this is the time to get his liberal political hands dirty, he needs to strike Syria no matter what, the image of the US and the Oval is at stake folks.
