RE:"I can take action whenever I want" to "Let's go to Congress first." He is already back to, "I can take action whenever I want". Obama 'has the right' to strike Syria regardless of Congress vote, says Kerry theguardian.com

>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. The guy has said so many times he can't just take action on a lot of things when he wants to. >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? He was (wrongly) for Iraq, and was (sort of correctly) against the way it was going to be paid for. I don't understand how that doesn't make sense. He isn't some peacenik. And for the record, I disagree with both of them. I really don't want to see us do anything in Syria. -Z
