Will Boehner Stop Our Rogue President?

August 30, 2013 By Patrick J. Buchanan

The next 72 hours will be decisive in the career of the speaker of the House. The alternatives he faces are these: John Boehner can, after "consultation," give his blessing to Barack Obama's decision to launch a war on Syria, a nation that has neither attacked nor threatened us.  Or Boehner can instruct Obama that, under our Constitution, in the absence of an attack on the United States, Congress alone has the authority to decide whether the United States goes to war.

As speaker, he can call the House back on Monday to debate, and decide, whether to authorize the war Obama is about to start. In the absence of a Congressional vote for war, Boehner should remind the president that U.S. cruise missile strikes on Syria, killing soldiers and civilians alike, would be the unconstitutional and impeachable acts of a rogue president.  Moreover, an attack on Syria would be an act of stupidity.

My Take - This is another one of those "then what" scenarios.  Muslim controlled countries are nothing more than Medieval tribal cultures with modern trappings and military hardware.  After you scrap away the surface horsepucky you begin to realize these countries are still tribal societies that are still fighting the same wars they have been fighting for centuries....and not a one of them are good guys.  They hate everyone except their own.  They only love their own tribal members, their own brand of Islam, their own financial interests and their own power.  All else, and everyone else is the enemy and in their minds deserve death delivered in any way that works best.
