Reluctant to defund Obamacare or stop amnesty,
but a strike on Syria gets support????
If you are outraged by Speaker John Boehner and GOP Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s support of the administration’s proposed strike on Syria, call them and tell them that Americans should not be on the same side with Al Quaeda. The Senate committee vote was close. From The Hill:
A Senate panel voted 10-7 Wednesday in
favor of a resolution authorizing military force against Syria, setting up a final
Senate vote as early as next week.
Seven Democrats and three Republicans
backed the measure, while five Republicans and two Democrats on the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee opposed it.
Chairman Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) said
the measure would be sent to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on
Monday.
Approval by the panel was expected, but the tight
vote suggests a final vote in the Senate could be close.
We all deplore the use of chemical weapons, but this is a no-win situation. On one side is the dictator Assad, head of the Syrian Ba'ath Party
(same party as Saddam Hussein). On the other side are rebels comprised in large measure of Al Qaeda jihadists. The
enemy of my enemy is, in this case, my enemy. And a strike that the Obama administration has already telegraphed in advance, and a "limited" one that is not intended to advance any specific goal, certainly not any American security interests, will only increase the risks of unintended consequences.
Opposed
to RINO politicians who support a military strike on Syria but won’t defund
Obamacare?
Opposed
to RINO politicians who support a military strike on Syria but won’t pledge to
defeat any House bill on Immigration “reform”?
Opposed to RINO politicians who are voicing their support of an administration that is planning to strike Syria even if Congress votes not to authorize?
All good
reasons to call the RINO GOP “leadership.”
Patriots can email or call Sen. Portman to press
him to oppose a strike. At present he seems to be sitting on the fence and
calling for a broad international coalition, which does not appear to be
forthcoming.
