We libs are against bombing Syria and will say so. Isn't that the honorable thing to do? You said I should call Obama evil for wanting to bomb. Are you against the bombing then?

You aren't thinking clearly. A fraction of Republicans will vote yes - maybe 1/3, maybe 1/2, nobody knows but Obama's public request to bomb Syria will be approved or not approved based on whether he can lead his own party. If Obama is denied and made to look like a weakling in front of the entire world, it will be because his own party abandons him after he makes a formal request for their Congressional support. We are not going to bomb syria. It will be a close vote in congress. Just enough to make it look like Obama hasn't lost his support from dem congresscritters. This really was a good move on obama's part. He makes it look like he isn't backing down and he gets to let congress save his ass from a truly stupid position. But everyone is seeing right through his move. He still looks weak and he looks like an amateur.
