I count 4 wins




Chemical weapons taken out of service

No Americans put into harms way

Pres. Obama gets a big foreign policy win

War Powers Act takes a hit since he set a precedent to go to Congress for even limited military action.

1. The wackos will just see 4 more

reasons to impeach.

2. Thank you Motown Johnny.. Yeah,

I think your post has merit.

I hope this comes to pass to get the chemical weapons away from Assad and because the "War Powers Act" definitely will take a hit.. PBO had a special little message for the cheney crowd in his speech tonight.

"Obama Takes a Big Shot at Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld in Syria Speech"

"This is especially true after a decade that put more and more war-making power in the hands of the president, and more and more burdens on the shoulders of our troops, while sidelining the people’s representatives from the critical decisions about when we use force."

3. Yes, I think The War Powers Act may need to be updated

This "War Weariness" can be used to our advantage.

4. I think that's what PBO has

in mind.

5. Hard to argue with those 4!

But I'm sure some folks will be along to make Jedi mind trick arguments as to why those aren't the 4 wins that we're looking for.
