This is what the leader of the Republicans said:
"The use of these weapons has to be responded to and only the United States has the capability and capacity to stop Assad and to warn others around the world that this type of behavior is not going to be tolerated," said Boehner after meeting with Obama. "I appreciate the president reaching out to me and my colleagues in the Congress over the last couple of weeks. I also appreciate the president asking the Congress to support him in this action. This is something that the United States as a country needs to do. I'm going to support the president's call for action. I believe my colleagues should support this call for action. We have enemies around the world that need to understand that we're not going to tolerate this type of behavior. We also have allies around the world and allies in the region who also need to know that America will be there and stand up whether it is necessary."
This, in spite of Obama not coming to congress before launching a war with Libya, and not before he found out he was out there all alone on his call to shoot at the Syrians.
This, in spite of a support level among the American people of something like 9%.
This, in spite of zero support from the United Nations, from the European Union, from England, or any one else but France, and they are even hesitant.
This, in spite of the fact Obama has made no real case for what our strategy is, for what will be our goal, except to say we have to avoid the embarrassment of looking weak, which was solely caused by Obama himself. And in spite of Obama's refusal to speak to the nation he leads in explanation?
So is blind support what we do the next time Obama puts his foot in his mouth and lead the country down a path it should not go?
Politically, Boehner has no problem giving his arch enemy cover for his stupid foreign adventure?
Boehner needs to be done in any leadership position, right now.
Could not agree more.

ReplyDeleteThey had the chance to get rid of him last January and chickened out, sad to say.
There is always tomorrow. There is always the Tea Party.
