So, I do not think that the US will end up [View all]

using military force against Syria.

I think that it was brilliant for President Obama to send this to Congress and I think that the votes against using the action will be roughly 50/50 democratic and republican, but this unusual group will override those for it in the House.

That is what I am feeling.

How about the rest of the members of this group? Does anyone have a sense for how the votes will go?

In my heart I think that President Obama actually wants an out, and this not only gives him the out, but sets exactly the kind of precent that should be set. Wouldn't it be wonderful if going forward Congress actually did have to vote on these matters (as it states in the Constitution?)

I think about those old post from the Psychic Consortium......the image of him swimming zigzaggedly through shark infested waters comes to my mind.
