No politician wants a public defeat -- nm - Roger More Sep 6, 07:21 1
- That is why I agree with the thought that he wants an out. -- nm - Spawn Sep 6, 07:31
with the majority of the population against what he's advocating I'm guessing he's expecting them to vote No. - Mel Profit Sep 6, 07:17

- the theory is that he boxed himself in with his talk but he never really wanted to actually follow up. - spamlet Sep 6, 07:12 13
  - plus he gets to bluster about congress being weak-willed and backing down from Syria. -- nm - mafic Sep 6, 07:17

        I think he does... - Mel Profit Sep 6, 07:44
    - He's already told us he has the power to do this regardless of what Congress says. - Strongbad Sep 6, 07:19 3
      - Because it makes him look the opposite of Dubya. -- nm - Spawn Sep 6, 07:21 2
        
        He's trying to appear that way, I agree. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 6, 07:23

    - You have that backwards. SB's theory is he doesn't want to act and knowing Congress will vote no is his cover for not acting. -- nm - spamlet Sep 6, 07:18 3
      - Uh, see above. -- nm - Spawn Sep 6, 07:21
