5. so Obama is going to do what the"benghazi posse" tell him to do ?

other than Mccain(who wants to go to war anywhere) the people who attacked him for benghazi are attacking him for possibly going into syria.

it's a distraction from the nsa, he is distracting from his failures as a president and other conspiracy crap.

10. What would be your solution to the outrage over the gas attacks no matter who commited

this very unpopular act? Ignore it, use every diplomatic means, military strikes against the guilty parties? There are no easy solutions to acquiring justice for the Syrians. Ultimately it does rest on Obama's shoulders, but he should never be condemned for trying to do the humanitarian thing regarding this. What would you do?

And you know what they say: you're either with Ted Cruz or you're against him. (I'm against him.)
