GOP success?

“I am confident in our military’s readiness to execute any mission, but it’s our duty to put forth a bold strategy where our goal is to win. I cannot count on the administration to do that, therefore, I cannot vote to put our brave men and women in uniform in harm’s way.” - Sam Johnson

Did Obama ask for military intervention in Syria? Do you think Democrats would have supported Military intervention in Syria? Did Michelle sound any different than Democrats in this regard?

Did the President say he wanted to invade Ukraine? When did he say that?

“I believe the President’s proposed military strike in Syria cannot achieve its stated objectives. In fact, I fear it will make things worse.” - Paul Ryan

Opinion Counselor; you don't believe that Congress people should have differing opinions from Barackus Obamanous (the Imperial President) Counselor? Why is that? Where you okay when Democrats differed with Bush on Iraq and Afghanistan Counselor?
 
Don't get me wrong, its okay to vote no. In fact in some instances its their job to vote no.
But to vote no on this then castigate the president for not being more tough in Ukraine is pitiful. There was a better case for intervention in Syria than Ukraine and Putin knew that.

That’s an awfully BIG “but” there Counselor. Apparently you DO think it is NOT okay to vote no and that it apparently is NOT their job to vote no based on your arguments here Counselor. I am trying to determine why.

What did they vote "NO" on Counselor? I don't recall there ever being a proposal from Barackus Obamanous (the Imperial President) to do anything in Syria? As a matter of fact, didn't Barackus Obamanous back down from his rhetoric all on his own?

Additionally many of the Republicans basically said that it was because Obama was CIC that they were voting no, because they felt he was not able to put together a winning campaign.

What did Democrats say about Bush as CIC Counselor? Or do you think it is only okay when Democrats do it.

But again, you wander off your claim again:

Democrats to Obama: Syria Goals Unclear, Strikes Could Lead to Longer Conflict
WASHINGTON — US Democratic lawmakers are urging President Barack Obama to clearly define his objective for any military mission in Syria, while also raising concerns about unintended consequences.

......

'Significant Consequences'
Rep. Adam Smith of Washington, the top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, said this week he is “still waiting to see what, specifically, the administration and other involved partners have to say about a potential military strike.” He should get a better picture later Thursday, when White House officials brief key lawmakers.

Smith, like a growing number of Democrats, will view the White House’s justification for strikes “concerned about how effective such an action could be.”

Additionally, Smith said he is “worried that such action could drag the United States into a broader direct involvement in the conflict.”


http://www.defensenews.com/article/...ls-Unclear-Strikes-Could-Lead-Longer-Conflict

When asked whether most Americans support or oppose military action in Syria, people generally answer correctly, with 67% saying that Americans are largely opposed to the push for military action in the country.

Democrats Face Syria Strike Divide
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama's pursuit of a military strike in Syria has put congressional Democrats and party leaders around the country in a tough spot.

They face loud opposition from war-weary constituents at home and are wary of being pulled into another foreign conflict. But they also are confronted with grim images from Syria of gassed children and the pleas of a president from their own political party to consider the consequences of inaction.
.....

But some liberal and moderate Democrats, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan fresh in their minds, have begun joining dozens of conservative Republicans registering their opposition. And many rank-and-file Democrats are undecided on whether to support a congressional resolution for military action, questioning whether it would turn the tide in a bloody civil war, whether it's in the U.S. national interest and whether it would prompt Assad to retaliate with more chemical weapons.

Apparently Republicans and Democrats found unity on the issue. But again one must ask, where was this proposal they were asked to vote on?

Basically, Putin knew that the way half of the country refuses to stand up with President Obama, no matter what he does, would ensure we could do just about nothing if he wanted to invade Ukraine.

You really are too stupid for prime time. Now run back to the playground and pretend you know what you are talking about dumbass.

translation: this faux "truth detector" always falls back on some innocuous insult whenever faced with a fact the he can neither deny or refute. This faux "truth detector" is nothing more than an intellectual coward who cannot acknowledge a simple error on his part. Pathetic.

LMAO; still parroting that tired stupid old disproved meme are we? I cannot say I am surprised. It doesn't occur to dimwits like you that all Barackus Obamanous (the Imperial President) had to do was pull OUT the staff just as all our allies did realizing that they could not properly protect them; Cost= minimal.

Again, were is YOUR PROOF that the GOP pushed for a budget increase for embassy security? If they denied it last year, and then approved a budget based on last year's numbers, then there is STILL no increase!

Simple facts and logic that escape a chuckling simpleton like the faux "Truth Detector". All he'll do is just dodge, regurgitate his bluff, move the goalpost and essentially just waste time and space.

Essentially, the President's bantering with the GOP and public opinion comes across as the same old party vs. party dance

Something that our resident neocon/teabagger parrots and pundits just refuse to admit DESPITE DOCUMENTED FACTS SHOWING REPUBLICAN OBSTRUCTIONISM. They're just a willfully ignorant, stubborn lot.

Wrong again Counselor; he knew Obummer was all talk with no walk. Obummer has spent so much time talking about how using force was and is a mistake that no one will take his rhetoric serious; instead they just point at him and laugh much like we do with you on this forum.

I am amused that you think it was a budget issue; what is it that makes Liberals so painfully ignorant?

:rolleyes:

Were you Liberals born yesterday? Apparently you must have been to pontificate with such utter nonsense. :rolleyes:

Our cud chewing neocon/teabagger lackey just dodges what he can't refute http://www.justplainpolitics.com/showthread.php?61382-GOP-success&p=1460342#post1460342

And then he just regurgitates what was already addressed, as the chronology of the posts shows. In short, all this faux Truth Detector is beyond a certain point is a waste of time...no need to address his BS and insipid stubborness further. I leave him to his last predictable retort and pursuit for attention.
