It's a hard day to be a Republican. Put on "Symapthy for the Devil."

Bombing Syria, even if we successfully only target Assad's weapons, would involve bombing and killing.
So, of course Republicans are for it.

Bombing Syria, now that Obama has asked Congress, would involve approving something Obama has proposed.
So, of course Republicans are against it.

1. Well played President Obama...well played indeed!

[BlueDemKev]

4. He totally turned the tables on them!

[VanillaRhapsody]

5. I think he played them like a fiddle....

I think too many here also fell for the ploy...they were part of the plan too....If the Left weren't screeeching like banshee's about it...they would never have fallen for it!

Well played indeed...

You gotta just sit back and watch Obama.....he plays the long game...

[WeekendWarrior]

8. He does this time and again

yet there are still people here who scoff at the idea that he's a master gamesman.

How many times does he have to do it before they get it?

2. if it wasn't so serious

I'd be laughing my ass off at them!

6. If we want to promote Democracy in the world....

we must act more democratically. It's a start.

[DFW]

7. We must accept that some countries do not want our promotion

I doubt there is ANYTHING we could offer Bashar Assad that would convince him or any of his opposition to hold unfettered elections. Hell, we can't even convince our own Republican Party to do that. How the hell do we think we're going to convince an absolute dictator to do it?
