What kills me is that the people supporting Idi Amin Jr.- and Kerry was one of them - would have gone blind with utter fanatical outrage if Bush attempted the same thing (as would most of the Idi Amin Jr. boot-licking types). And let's face it, even Bush got the approval from congress to take military action before he did anything. In some ways, he was more respectful of the Constitution that Idi Amin Jr.
But Lil' Idi and, his small wiener, his big mouth have gotten him into one HUGE frickin' mess. He drew a line in the sand, had ZERO capability to back it up, and now has to scramble and step around the Constitution to wipe the egg off his face. And his liberal buddies in Britain are deciding to sit this one out.
And when he takes action he has maybe 90 days to get Assad to crumble. If he doesn't,. he's violating the law (which, I guess, is nothing new to him), and it leaves him open for even his gutterslime Democrats to sign on to impeachment. Mainly because they sowed the seeds for over 10 years with Bush about how we don't need to be in that region, and that we don't need to send our men and women over there to die, and so on, and so on. As much as most Democrats (and slavish Democrat voters like drywalldog) are trained to swallow a sh*t sandwich on demand, their fringe isn't going to like having to roll over on their core beliefs for Boy Wonder in the Oval Office.
BTW, this also is an open door for Iran to get a little payback on the US in a semi-official way by defending Assad. And Assad - like Saddam - has an intelligence network that rivals most power players on the world stage.
This is not Milosovic this time, and Assad isn't some newcomer to his position.
Anyone defending Idi Amin Jr. on this one is either stupid, insane, or so totally out of touch with reality it is hard to even describe in words. This is not, in any way, our fight. Plus, the only way anyone can guarantee that those WMD don't fall into the hands of a Al Qaeda offshoot is to basically back Assad, which is contrary to what Idi Amin Jr. is doing.
