To bomb or not to bomb, that is the question...

A casual listener, getting news in snips and headlines, would wonder why the president is acting like Hamlet...

He clearly has the presidential precedent on his side. And anyone who is watching knows he is going to bomb.

The time to act was about four or so weeks ago.

What will happen when he does decide to punish Syria is president Obama will more than likely kill more civilians than bad guys. And we know Assad could give a shit about the well being of his people.

The republicans in Congress are rubbing their hands with glee as president Obama drags this situation way beyond the expiration date...

Although I do admire your literary allusion...

I think it was very clever to put the Congress on the spot.

I really don't think they're happy about that.


Time will tell...
