"f this sounds like an improbable scenario I ask that you to ponder for a moment the potential outcome: No war Obama and America look strong and world leaders should not doubt Obama’s willingness to take action Congress was made to do their job Congress will take the responsibility of inaction Republicans have to pretend they are anti-war Americans comes out against any further wars thereby providing the beginning of the end to our perpetual war Puts pressure on the UN to take other action Suddenly the UN is eager to accept other harsh non-military actions against Syria And there is even the added bonus that the GOP weakening the push to shut down the government over the debt ceiling will not proceed with the intense battle anticipated. Next week Congress returns for only nine days. Nine days to act on the Syrian War, the debt ceiling, immigration, the Voting Rights Acts and many other important issues. Seeing they can barely rename a post office, Congress will not have the ability to once again play games with by demanding cuts and further tax cuts for corporations. It will have to accept a reasonable offer or be blamed for damage to our nation’s credit rating. Republicans are very aware they will face blame and backlash should this happen. Tell me this isn’t the best outcome ever. And I honestly think this was Obama’s intention from the beginning. You know damn well if he didn’t do anything, Republicans would be calling him weak because of the corner he had painted himself in when he talked about the red line. Granted, Obama made a mistake with his “red line” comment, but by acting in a calm savvy manner, he can come out looking the part of the tough guy without even taking a swing. And he smiles as Congress does for him what he wanted in the first place. If America could just set down their pitchforks and torches for a moment, they would be able to see what brilliant strategy this is.."
