and this is why we elected him President.

Good and measured statement.

1. Sounded like a drum beat to me.

2. I doubt that

the congress will approve. But, he's doing the right thing.

3. total drumbeat and I think he left the door open to bombing first

with the vote following.

4. I just wonder why the US has to act

alone on this shit?

I understand the "we can't let Dictator X kill innocent kids" rhetoric. But what good does killing more of them, do?

That said, I'm interested in learning more about the "limited intervention" and specific targets involved in Obama's plan. Can we avoid civilians?

Regardless, I am glad that he batted the ball to Congress, where it belongs.

5. nope, not a drum beat to my ears

he's bringing us back to our democratic process. He's buying time, playing both sides. It's cagey and moral at the same time. I'm impressed.

7. that's what I heard too.

6. I agree. I do not support a Syria strike but I do trust the President.
