I do find an irony that the GOP establishment is supporting this one but weren't singing the same song in 2013. Not that I think this was the wrong decision...

Agreed, it seems appallingly hypocritical.

But if Obama so chose, he could have done it himself (as Trump did). As we know well, Obama was quite at ease bypassing congress when he felt like it.

Embroiled in two wars made him gun shy, I think, about going in with Congress backing him.

Obama , Kerry and Susan Rice repeatedly assured us that 100% of the chemical weapons in Syria had been disposed of . As a matter fact they bragged about it.

Turns out they,and the rest of the coalition was wrong. Or Assad brought some back in to Syria.

See, I voted for him, but I don't think he was infallable...
