glad you stopped by. Don't expect it to be smooth sailing. PBO has to keep up the threat of a strike. He can't even say he will bow to the will of Congress.

Remember the Cuban Missile Crisis, but make it worse because we aren't united and people can't see the immediate threat. So PBO has to look like he's willing to go it alone, like a warmonger. Like he's almost crazy.

That's why he dragged it out so long. To give Assad and Putin and the UN time to get scared that he will do it. He can't back down now that they've just begun to talk about negotiating.
