Comment of the Day.

Found somewhere out there, online:

It is uncanny how out of touch with reality the President and Secretary Kerry seem to be with the American people.

The prevailing public opinion in the U.S. and abroad has nothing to do with whether it's OK to use WMDs but whether another destructive rushed bombardment will accomplish anything more than collateral civilian deaths and destroy yet another ancient civilization.  
The answer is No and everyone except the Administration seems to recognize that fact. Even supporters of the President are "lukewarm" to say the least.

Forget about the self-inflicted political wounds to Obama. The President asked for what he is receiving. The Administration has inflicted far more serious wounds to the nation by once again charging up the hill with little or no preparatory groundwork to bring international opinion along with us. When Vladimir Putin is able to seize the "high ground" by appearing to be moderate while lying through his teeth and dripping with complicity for the civilian murders in Syria it's obvious that U.S. policy has been abysmal.

The President was correct to send the decision to Congress. Now, get out of the way and let Congress say No loud and clear....
