Today, we are not in Syria nor have we bombed.
I suspect because, primarily, the UK bowed out of this option.
Cameron’s nonbinding motion was defeated 285-272 and he conceded after the vote that “the British Parliament, reflecting the views of the British people, does not want to see British military action.”
So, is Mr Obama a coward, is it indecision or is it a head-fake?

Various leaks on Wednesday indicate that America will begin bombing Syria some time on Thursday — to include drones, cruise missiles and long range bombers.
This information was revealed in many major media newspapers on Wednesday, to include such details as the length of time — three days — and some of the targets themselves. Means and manner.
How stunningly incompetent is this — ? To secrete information as to pre-announce a strike on a sovereign nation in a leaked-media fashion?
Even White House flack Jay Carney has said that DC is not interested in “regime change.” Meaning: DC is not interested in unseating Syrian President Bashar al-Assad as he rests in Damascus.
I ask: if you, Mr Obama, are uninterested in going to the core of the problem, then why make an incursion or even an event at all? What will it truly accomplish? If there is no regime change, then there is no point.
Only one thing: a redemption of sorts for a president who opened his mouth too early and drew a line — a red line — in the sand. If Mr Obama hadn’t proclaimed his sphincter dribble he wouldn’t feel compelled now to confirm his Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Mr Obama’s so-called “policy” is arbitrary and incoherent.
And where are the anti-war protesters storming DC because of Obama’s sabre-rattling?
Oh, right: to question Mr Obama in any way would be racist.
But I’m questioning:
Where is the Congressional sign-off or authorization on this? The president is acting unilaterally, just as he accused — as a senator — George Bush of doing.
In DC today, Obama said he has not yet “made a decision” on Syria. If so, one of two things are occurring here:
1. He is lying, or
2. He is incredibly, staggeringly incompetent
In any case, just who — what side — is America supporting in Syria, and why?
No one in DC can answer that one simple question. Except: does Obama realize he appears to be supporting al Qaeda?
Joe Biden already said, in 2007, that an attack on any country absent Congressional approval is an IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE:
Really? And how do you feel now, sir, absent Congressional approval involving Syria?
Not so much, sir? A hypocrite, sir? Lying between your teeth, sir? Politics trumping all, sir?
You’re simply a badly-hair-plugged buffoon, and way overpaid. As are the rest of your DC cohorts. On roughly both sides of the aisle.
Because you have no consequences. You have no responsibilities, no answering, no culpability, no liability, no exposure, no imperative. No ACCOUNTABILITY.
The droids in DC are answerable and accountable to no one.
Their only concern is to acquire a check and to cash said check.
People can die. People have died. But no one cares and no one sees.
I have never been as disappointed in my country as now, under the reign (not “leadership”) of Barack Hussein Obama, because he is NO leader. He is: Barry Soetoro.
A major week this will be.
