It was about the only move the Ditherer-in-Chief had left.
Obazm has dolled himself up as the most unserious man in the history of democratic despotism. Long may he sit on the pot without productive effect (and be forever plagued with the hemorrhoids he so justly has earned).

FNC James Rosen note: states he was told that President Obama will carry out the military action regardless if Congress votes to approve use of force
You know, for the first time in my life I actually feel sorry for John LeKerry. It must suck to be him. Here he put it out there, sounded all sonorous and presidential-like yesterday. Resolute, he was. And today? Presbo whips the carpet right out from under him and left him swinging in the wind.
And Kerry’s booked on all five Sunday shows tomorrow.
Oh, my sides!
In some respects (too many) it looks like FoxNews has decided to take on the funhouse mirror-role of William Randolph Hearst’s imperial war-drive for the imperious anti-imperialist, Obazm: “Eniam eht Rebmemer”.
After all, there is tremendous prestige to be lost quite apart from the wrists to be slapped, and this is just the bunch to do it.
i like this headline
Obama Hits Golf Course After Announcing National Emergency
– sKerry will be fine. He’ll be against it after hes for it like he always is, and won’t bat an eye when someone points out how foolish he looks because he always looks follish.. You simply cannot embarrasse an idiot Leigh.
– In the mean time Putin continues to punk Bumblefuck each and every passing hour and day. The Brits said bugger off, The Germans are poised to follow suit, and the French are reveling in the total triumph of white flag surrender. The community organizer is doing the best he can, which is to say nothing worth a fuck as usual.
– The consensus on the Left is we shouldn’t do anything OMG OMG OMG, but whatever foodstamps does the Baggers will say its wrong, because you know, everything is about how bad the baggers are, jug ears and his stupidity/lack of any sort of leadership will not/isn’t/c\n’t be/won’t be discussed.
Heh. I was just kidding, BBH. Hell will freeze over before I feel sorry for that sob.
– Although I must admit some counter views are just starting to creep in to the comments sections over at HuffNpoop, which I attribute to Proggies who never got their free phones.
I was just asking the husband if he thought any lefties would have an epiphany and break ranks. He says probably not.
What do you guys think? I’d be pissed off if I were one of Presbo’s cheerleaders. I would have to talk about it. On teevee. Repeatedly.
– Problem is Leigh the average Proggie is not really serious about any of it except hoping to score some free shit, so they’ll play the “poke-a-bagger” as long as they think theres a payoff, but as soon as they see the gravy train has gone off the rails they’re MIA and don’t know nothin’.
– I’ve decided that “Fantasy politics” is the Lefts equivalent to Fantasy football/Baseball/Basketball..
lamont you big dummie news
President Pulls Lawmakers Into Box He Made
leigh, there’s a book out, “Escape from Red China” in which the author details a trip he made to the USSR with a Chinese Communist. The author was shocked, because no matter how much evidence to the contrary, (elevators that didn’t work, buildings visibly crumbling) the Chinese Communist believed the USSR was the pinnacle of political and technical achievement.
Same mindset.
Hell, leigh, on some message boards, you still have leftists regurgitating “Bush lied, people died,” lied about WMD in Iraq, etc., etc. No matter how many times that crap is refuted, leftists refuse to accept evidence to the contrary, because it goes against their faith.
Filed under ‘stopped watch’…
Not so shabby as far as nuanced word usage goes; he’s subtly defining Obama as one with a pin prick. But given the source, it’s pretty much a waste of air.
….because it goes against their faith.
– The true believer Progs far exceed the most viralent religious zealots ever known, but because they “hate” religious forms by rote they will never “see” it in their own actions. Like WMD’s, its invisable, even when people (Kurds) die its not enough to refute their blind beliefs.
– Pearl gets his head chopped off for his trouble but the Islamists are a “peaceful group”. Once you drink the Koolaide you have to untether from any form of reality to maintain even a semblance of sanity. In other words its the ultimate “sellout” and the biggest hipocracy of all.
Oh! His majesty deigns voluntarily this one time to follow the law. I think I’ll throw a party.
Obama’s administration begins work on third wicker tower and chalk runway project but cargo plane still nowhere in sight. Blames interference from residents of island living to the right of his lodge for lack of visible progress.
BBH, I don’t know many on the right who will defend many of the policies of GW. For the most part, the left will defend everything Obama does..except if they think his policy prescriptions don’t go far enough.
Jugears says he only wants to fire a shot across the bow but the AUMF he sent to Congress is so open ended as to authorize any action from slingshots to nukes. Before I voted on this AUMF I’d have to know exactly what the plan is – if there really is one – so would demand a personal explanation from Vallery Jarrett to see what she has in mind.
Obazma’s 2002 anti-war speech, railing against the preparations for an attack on Iraq.
Whatever you do as you read it, don’t make the mental substitution of Syria for Iraq, or al-Assad for Saddam. Don’t ask where all that domestic oil development had gotten to, to “fight to wean ourselves off Middle East oil”. Don’t compare the clear-eyed strategic thought of a Perle or Wolfowitz with the utter absence of strategic thinking we see in Obazm today.
That just wouldn’t be kosher.
Perhaps the upcoming AUMF vote is just to set up a test as to whether we have a monarch yet.
Draft resolution text.
Completely boundless, as is befitting an Emperor.
Any chance it specifies where and against whom?
As in Egypt, trying to have his cake and eat it too seems to end in having none and eating none also.
Classy pose there too. You’d almost think he’d paid for the desk himself.
Ilya Somin at Volokh on the AUMF.
“. . . we could end up fighting both sides in the Syrian civil war simultaneously.”
And that would be a bad thing, how? But The Great Obazm is in no way going to fight the enemies of the United States, for cryin’ out loud. The Great Emperor took the side of the Mullahs in 2009, he’s surely not going to start killing them now. The Great Emperor has known al-Qaeda and its affiliates have been in Syria for over a year, yet has never moved to kill them where they stand. The Great Emperor makes not even the slightest gesture to indicate that he even knows enemies of the United States are to be killed in Syria. What a joke this Somin makes.
oh noes baracky
Fareed Zakaria: Obama’s Handling of Syria ‘Case Study in How Not To Do Foreign Policy’
This is about avoiding responsibility if things go wrong and avoiding being mocked. There must always be another party involved to take the blame and on whom any mockery can be deflected toward.
geoffb, note the photoshop here (it’s enlargeable by clicking).
at first impression it looked like baracky is trying to throw an accordion
Only in bohunkia.
Or
must have been this
“Going to war without the French is like going hunting without an accordion.”
Buckwheat is there man.
The WSJ piece makes it sound as if he walked alone and made the decision alone but here it says:
So he walks for 45 minutes with his “Leaker of Classified Secrets In Chief” and returns with a punt play.
It’s a great comfort to know that The Great Emperor has his finger on the stupidity button at all times.
Bad link repaired, here.
Fixing Buckwheat too.
Or not.
There is no difference in the two links is there?

There isn’t. The bum prefix gets added after I hit the “post comment” button. Don’t know why, but give in for now.
You have to include http:// in what you paste into the link tag. I’ve fixed both bad links in the original comments.

Rubio Wants Congress Back Early over Syria
oh my
Never gets old! Does David Sirota have the answer on Syria? Snort-worthy pic says ‘yes’
– Looking back even the most pessimistic of us did not come close to anticipating just how empty this idiots suit was going to be.
I can sympathize with the idea of making whomever pay a price for using chemical weapons, but I think in this circumstance there is no way to do that, short of doing what we did in Iraq. Which is impossible today. And which we did partly as an object lesson that obviously didn’t take anyway, so why imagine it would take this time?
I like this guy Jeff linked to the other day, and he pretty much sums up my thoughts on the deal.
Write your Congressman to say where you stand on authorizing Obazma to use military force against Syria. Tell ’em, just vote no.
This is rank amateurism. Obama has no idea what to do, so he punts. He has kicked the ball to Congress, hasn’t called them back to the game, just told them you guys debate it, and let me know. Oh, and, of course, this is more important than defunding Obamacare, investigating Benghazi, looking into the IRS or Fast and Furious. No hurry. We can leave our ships out there for months if need be. Joe, let’s head for the links!

Ya know, I can’t help but think that picture with Obama’s foot on the desk is a clear message to the middle east. It isn’t just happenstance to release it now. We all know how they take the soul of a shoe on an enemy as an insult.
I really, really think Obama digs humiliating the US. ‘Cuz of how he is an enemy of the US.
baracky will take care of this enemy of the state
An Unidentified Naval Officer’s Opinion on Syria
Jeez, here’s another disaster scenario I hadn’t thought of…
Oh, and I forgot to add, what happens if Obama orders the military to strike, and they refuse? Wouldn’t THAT send a message to the world our suddenly hawkish progressives would go insane over?
“. . . that have been actually forbidden by Congress . . . ”
This remains the initial and crucial order of business. But how is that looking with idiots the like of John McCain and Peter King on the loose?
