Obama Will Ignore Congress And Attack Syria Anyway

White House signals next week’s vote has no relevance whatsoever

The Obama administration has made it clear that it will ignore Congress even if lawmakers vote no to military intervention in Syria and launch the attack anyway.

While Obama’s surprise decision to seek Congressional authorization for the attack has prompted speculation that he is creating a clever exit strategy after painting himself into a corner with a year of unsustainable “red line” rhetoric, administration officials have signaled that next week’s scheduled vote will make little difference to a decision that has already been made.

Fox News’ James Rosen was told by a senior State Department official that, “the president’s decision to take military action in Syria still stands, and will indeed be carried out, regardless of whether Congress votes next week to approve the use of such force.”

Although Obama’s announcement that he would put the issue to Congress came as a surprise, the official said it had no impact on the fact that Obama has already decided to green light the attack no matter which way lawmakers vote.

“That’s going to happen, anyway,” the aide told Rosen.

In addition, Secretary of State John Kerry asserted that Obama has the right to strike Syria regardless of how Congress votes.

“We don’t contemplate that the Congress is going to vote no,” said Kerry, adding that Obama has the right to order attacks “no matter what Congress does”.

Indeed, Obama himself alluded to the notion that the outcome of a Congressional vote had little significance during his speech on Saturday when he stated, “Our capacity to execute this mission is not time-sensitive,” adding, “It will be effective tomorrow or next week or one month from now, and I am prepared to give that order.”

The Congressional vote seems less about getting the nod for a “limited” military strike and more about expanding the scope of the intervention and possibly greasing the skids for open ended war and regime change, with the White House’s draft proposal giving Obama “the authority to do way more” than surgical strikes, reports MSNBC.

According to Rand Paul, it’s 50/50 on whether Congress will give Obama the green light to launch an attack which is being opposed by an increasing number of both top brass and regular servicemembers within the US military.

However, with the administration already acknowledging that the vote will merely be ceremonial, and with more US warships moving towards Syria, it seems that the attempt to secure congressional approval is merely window dressing in anticipation of an attack that has already been decided upon.

Red, you're right....why would O stop screwing things up now....he has to cover up last weeks mistakes.....Gary
 

.he has to cover up last weeks mistakes.....Gary

He's not even finished covering up last years mistakes....and the year before that....and the year before that and on and on.:laughing7:
 

Assad needs to have his arse handed to him...and then he should be stuck in a
sealed, closed room with no ventilation and an open bottle of Sarin gas.

Is it our job to do it? Can't say...but it surely needs done, and no one else is
stepping up to save those innocent children. That "son with no father" killed
over 400 of them (kids) the last time..let's not allow him to destroy more.

Concerns? Hell yes, and since Assad's missiles won't reach the US he'll take
it out on Israel. If so, my hope is that Israel sends a message that get's Iran's
attention too...as in, "Mess with Israel and we'll turn your sand huts into glass!"

That's the way the mainstream media here in Canada sees it. IMO if it happens then Syria will hit Israel which needs a bit of a spanking as well.

Bush, The Chimp, The Decider, woulda pounced way ahead of Congress. This country has never had such a baffoon as we had in George Walker Bush, and this messed up American voting public elected that fool twice! Obama has far more solid evidence.
 

If his evidence is so great,why is he still not acting.....and you voter's, not me elected this idiot twice, and because of him we are the laughing stock of the world community...well bubba, hope you sleep well nights, I don't
 

Even if the evidence is correct, what is the benefit to bombing innocent people????

both side are our enemy's, I am sick of thinking that we are the worlds boss. We can't even fix ourselves and he wants to add more deaths of American people for people on both side that would be happy to kill us. Stupid.
 

This mans ego and pride are possibly going to ignite millions being killed, not just a few 1000.

I didn't vote for him, but I would sure vote to have him put out of office.
 

Worst foreign policy president I can think of!

Squig,

Not a very good domestic one either, nothing more than campaigner, and speech giver, and he has to read them. Couldn't sleep tonight, and now doubt that it will come soon. but you have a good evening.....Gary
 

Thanks Gary and I agree with you! I believe he is so self absorbed that he loves the sound of his own voice. .
Hope you get some rest...
Take Care...Barb
