Machaon, with the majority of the nation against intervention, Obama's decision should be an easy one politically.

I don't want to speculate on what caused Obama's change of heart, from "I can take action whenever I want" to "Let's go to Congress first." I'm kind of surprised he even allowed any talk of military strikes in the first place, given his stance on Iraq. But it seems to me that he wants an out without looking (too much) like a fool.

What I can't grasp is why John F'n Kerry seems to be convinced that we need to act. Is this another one of those "I was for the war before I was against it before I was for it" flip-flops of his?
