The GOP Congress refused to give Obama authority to go into Syria, tho he asked them.

[nikibatts]

They would rather sit back and criticize him. He made it clear that Afghanistan was a carryover from Iraq. When he asked for new war powers for Syria, they refused. Yes, the redline was crossed but we wanted it to be Obama's red line only and the blatherers in Congress just wanted to be able to be critical of Obama.

The ball in now in their court. They have to make a play or forfeit the game. Had the key to the kingdom to Russia.

1. The GOP owns it now.

They put up a fuss when Clinton wanted to go after Al Qaeda.

5. God are they insufferable scumbags

as you noted, they spent the late 90s sluffing off Islamic terrorism, which Bill was trying to get the country to take seriously. But, in all of their childishness they reflectively passed it off as "the tail wagging the dog" with him trying to take attention away from the REALLY important issue of his blow job.

Then, nine months into W completely giving a shit about it, 9-11 hits and ... Their rabidly deranged bubble BLAMED BILL for not going all Minority Report and getting OBL when they make it politically impossible for him to do it.

What makes me want to pull my hair out, and why I have been a wet blanket at DU for a decade now is THIS - these assholes just live in the moment, spew whatever bullshit their pea sized brains generate, and this country EVERY GOD DAMNED TIME both indulges it AND enables it by never holding them accountable.

2. Republicon pattern: block Democrat action and then blame Democrats for not acting.

It has to be called out every time. Thanks for posting.

6. Oh yeah, and I will add another

ball around on those odd occasions when the Ds actually do the right thing and DON'T get on board with whatever fuck wittery they are trying to advance (see, Trumpcare).

8. Perfect simple language

just keep saying it that way and maybe they will understand. Republicans treat the country like an abused wife.

3. Repug congresscritters refused to give an AUMF for years. While dRumpf kept tweeting

over and over again, 'don't go into Syria', during the same time period.

Which happened to be Putin's position on US involvement in Syria, too.

Just a coincidence, no doubt.

4. This week (R)Nikki Haley & Tille(R)son gave Assad/Putin team the go ahead to keep Exterminating.

Link to tweet

what Republicans? 6 million refuges and over a million dead, 200,000 in 7 Syria deathcamps AREN'T enough for Republicans to CONDEM as WAR CRIMES?

7. yes, and now they have the fucking balls to BLAME him for this attack.

9. I actually couldn't believe

my ears when I heard a GOP ( Kinzinger) say" the the GOP Congress would not give PBO Syrian authorization" and saying the blame for Assad lies on both parties. He must not have gotten his talking points before hand.
