News blurb speech from the Rose Garden just now. He'll have discussions when they re-convene. Amazing.

No doubt by now AIPAC is calling the members of Congress in their pockets and demanding a vote for war, and no doubt the NSA is calling all the members of Congress and reminding them of the dirty little secrets the NSA has the evidence on. At this point, even if Congress votes for war, there is no reason for We The People to go along. Congress destroyed their credibility with Iraq and never got it back. Any congressional vote is meaningless if it does not actually represent the will of the people. But what Obama just did is clever. He knows the American people oppose him starting another war, and contrary to Obama's claim, he does not have the authority to launch a war against Syria on his own unless Syria directly attacks the United States. But Obama is hoping to be able to support the push for war with the cover of Congress, so that the peoples' anger is diffused across 500 politicians, rather than just focused on the White House. Should the Congress vote it down as did Parliament, Obama drops the "failure to act" on Congress and walks away with his presidential image looking good. Meanwhile, Obama has succeeded in distracting the corporate media away from Benghazi, the IRS' targeting of political enemies, the NSA spying on everyone, etc. (But we'll pick up the slack!) In any event, it is time to gather outside the offices of your Representatives and Senators and glare through the windows!
I don't think the NSA has a dog in this fight. In fact it might be in NSA's best interests if there were no attack on Syria, because the NSA's budget may take a hefty cut to pay for the $1 billion per day cost of the US going solo on this war. As a counter weight to AIPAC, no doubt the Clinton Arkansas Take No Prisoners Brigade will be calling Demrat critters warning them that HildaBeast took the heat for Obama's Benghazi goof-up on the condition she gets crowned as President in 2016, and that a Syrian war would jeopardize her chances, and if that happens there's going to be some heads committing suicide as a consequence.

But that fact is not a reason for the NSA to want a Syrian war. Some gov't depts will need to take it in the neck - have their budget cut - to pay for the DOD's war costs. Even without boots on the ground, Tomahawk missiles cost lots of $ per day especially when the USA is the only nation dropping them - I've read it would be $1 Billion per day.
