GOP leaders back Obama call for action in Syria

House leaders back Obama call for action in Syria

House Speaker John Boehner is on board with President Barack Obama’s call for military action in Syria.

“This is something that the United States as a country needs to do,” Boehner said Tuesday after a White House meeting with Obama. “I’m going to support the president’s call for action, and I believe my colleagues should support the president’s call for action.”

Boehner announced his position after a Tuesday morning meeting with congressional leadership in the Cabinet Room. In a 90-second statement to reporters, Boehner echoed Obama’s earlier sentiment that the United States has a unique responsibility and capability to enforce international law forbidding chemical weapons.

Boehner was joined in his support by House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), putting the onus on House leadership to secure enough votes to pass a use-of-force resolution that remains unpopular among both the American public and rank-and-file members of both parties.

(Also on POLITICO: Syria a no-win for either party in 2014)

“The use of these weapons has to be responded to and only the United States has the capability and the capacity to stop Assad and to warn others around the world that this type of behavior is not to be tolerated,” Boehner said.

Cantor (R-Va.) did not address reporters at the White House, but released a statement that backed authorizing Obama to use force against Syria.

“I intend to vote to provide the President of the United States the option to use military force in Syria,” Cantor said. “Understanding that there are differing opinions on both sides of the aisle, it is up to President Obama to make the case to Congress and to the American people that this is the right course of action, and I hope he is successful in that endeavor.”

As a country we need to stand for something. Are we going to allow for anyone to use wmds against civilians without repurcussions? If we claim going forward that what happens in your backyard stays in your backyard then we stand for nothing. This would mena that any crackpopt would understand that the US would do nothing if they decided to gas a village.

Am I advocating starting liberation experiments? No, what I am for is our military stand up for the innocent and kick the crap out of leaders who won't abide be general decency standards.

I agree, we must stand up against Al Qaeda for using chemical weapons that we supplied them with and used against those children.

We must also stand up to Obamas murdering of children with his illegal drones and assasination of Americans with no due process.

You're right!! If you don't stand up against the US President for treason and war crimes, then we stand for nothing.

And he got attention on drones on Americans, drones period, and made Obama give an answer. The answer is a lie, but don't lie and say he didn't accomplish anything. It's more than what any piece of shit fake liberal democrat did on the issue, that's for damn sure, whether for show or not lol

[EVAY]

I agree that we have a moral need to help people from getting gassed by their own or someone else's government. To not do so leaves us vulnerable to charges that were reasonably laid against the Allied governments during the Holocaust.

Having said that, there is no convincing proof that I have seen that the rebels in Syria are NOT Al Qaeda-based, at least in part. I am not in favor of supporting Al Qaeda anywhere anytime. Anybody remember the U.S. supporting the rebels in Cuba overthrowing the evil dictator Batista? Yeah, Castro said all the right things at the time and stood in New York crossing himself to show the nation a 'good Catholic'. Then he got in power and became the harshest Communist dictator in the hemisphere (at least for a while).

Support the innocents who have been gassed? Yes. Support the rebels against their government? Not so sure about that.

Paul hints at filibuster of Syria resolution

By Michael O'Brien, NBC News

http://firstread.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/09/03/20312362-paul-hints-at-filibuster-of-syria-resolution

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., suggested he would require any resolution approving U.S. military involvement in Syria pass the Senate by a filibuster-proof majority.

Paul hinted Tuesday that he could invoke the parliamentary procedure to delay or effectively block a vote to approve President Barack Obama's request for authority to launch strikes against the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad.

"I can't imagine that we won't require 60 votes on this," Paul said in a conference call with reporters. "Whether there's an actual standing filibuster, I've got to check my shoes."

Paul has emerged as a kind of figurehead for libertarian-minded conservatives who oppose most U.S. military involvement abroad. A critic of the president's anti-terrorism tactics, Paul launched a formal filibuster earlier this year in which he spoke for hours on end against the president's use of drones to target accused terrorists for assassination, even if they are American citizens.

The filibuster enamored Paul to conservatives, and helped the first-term senator lay the groundwork for a possible bid for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016.

Still, Paul suggested he was unsure of his ability to ultimately halt Obama's request for authority in the Senate, expressing his hope that House conservatives would vote down the resolution.

"I think our best chance for ultimate victory is in the House," he said.

OBAMA SHAKEN BY BOEHNER’S SUPPORT


Aides to President Obama said today that he was “visibly shaken” after receiving support from House Speaker John Boehner for his Syria campaign, adding that the Speaker’s vote of confidence was “making him rethink the whole thing.”

An aide to Mr. Obama, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said that he was in the Oval Office with the President when he got the call from Mr. Boehner: “As it became clear that Boehner was going to support him on this, he looked more and more stunned. He was trying to stay calm and all but you could see that he was really taken aback.”

After putting down the phone with Mr. Boehner, the President reportedly told aides, “Boehner’s supporting it. That’s so weird. This is still a good idea, right?”

[xellos88330]

Personally I do not agree with a potential attack on Syria. We Americans have our own issues to deal with currently. I believe our domestic issues need to be solved before we go and attack yet another middle eastern country. I fear the US is in danger of spreading it's influence a bit too thin. There are other countries that can carry out the attacks. The US does not have to be the only one that leads the way. The amount of violence and warfare is starting to get a bit ridiculous. As former military, I tend to always itch for that next fight, but there are too many issues on the home front that need to be solved first. If America can focus on itself for a while and solve it's own issues, it will make for an even stronger global influence than before. We cannot claim to help other countries when we are refusing to help ourselves. Take care of our own shit first before we get into another fight. Professional fighters have to train before a fight. They are fixing their weaknesses. I suggest that the US use that same mentality to handle foreign policy.

A branch of al-Qaeda fighting in the Syrian civil war has seized one of the few remaining villages where the original language of Christ is still spoken, residents say.

Fighting raged through the picturesque mountain village of Maaloula, near Damascus, on Thursday, as the regime launched a counter-attack against the rebels.
"They entered the main square and smashed a statue of the Virgin Mary," said one resident of the area, speaking by phone and too frightened to give his name. "They shelled us from the nearby mountain. Two shells hit the St Thecla convent."

The inhabitants are mostly Melkite Greek Catholic and Orthodox Christians, but have historically lived peacefully alongside a Sunni Muslim minority. It is one of only three places in the world where Western Aramaic, a dialect of the language spoken by Christ, is still used.

Is there a point to deterring proliferation of WMD. No I understand everyone being pissed off about having guesses pushed out at as certainty in Iraq but at a certain point is there merit in doing so.

For example, if a country drops a nuke and did not sign the nuclear nonproliferation treaty then should we let it go as a matter of course or are we right to intervene. Should we do nothing to deter the use of chemical weapons.

I get 100% the notion that we cannot be the worlds police force. Certainly not by ourselves. At the same time if the Saudis and the Israelis and the Turks and the majority of the Sunni Arab states are asking for our intervention do we just ignore that.

This is why I have such issue with the tin foil brigade. They deter from substantive discussion on real issues of foreign policy.

He was, apparently, just being hypothetical. The State Department had to walk him back:

“Secretary Kerry was making a rhetorical argument about the impossibility and unlikelihood of Assad turning over chemical weapons he has denied he used,” Jen Psaki, the State Department spokeswoman, said in an e-mail to reporters after Mr. Kerry’s comments. “His point was that this brutal dictator with a history of playing fast and loose with the facts cannot be trusted to turn over chemical weapons, otherwise he would have done so long ago. That’s why the world faces this moment.”

Sometimes, it seems, Kerry’s incompetence strikes gold. Here’s hoping. :lmao :lmao
