While President Obama is busy welcoming Congressional support, and asking for additional authority and resources, what is Congress doing?
I'll give you a clue:
Senators and Congressmen, from across the aisle, are queuing up to do as little as possible, as fast as they possibly can.
When we are sending our military into harm's way, this disgusting refusal even to discuss the matter is nothing less than a shameful act of craven cowardice. They are more concerned with the mid-terms, and the ads they can run against ANY action taken by the President, that they have abandoned any pretext of the notion that they, and they alone, are responsible for authorizing war.
On a related note .....
It has been brought to my attention that a majority of Americans now appears to favor military action against ISL, Iraq and even Syria. Apparently Opinion Polls say so.
Well here is an idea ... Add a pre-condition to the proposed action, that a Tax Increase to pay for the military action should be required before any action is taken.
Now go run your Opinion Poll!!
