That's the way to go. Hopefully Republicans won't continue to act like hypocritical, irresponsible obstructionists when the safety of the world is at stake.

No hypocrit here.  I absolutely support giving the President this approval.

However, something tells me the red avatars would be b*tching and moaning if this were a Republican President.

I was talking about Congressional Republicans.

Even when Obama asked for a strike on Syria after Assad was literally gassing his own people, Republicans blocked it as a petty political attack.

So why no attempt to arrest Bush for using white phosphorus in urban areas? Or an authorization to bomb Israel when they bombed UN hospitals? American foreign policy is not and never has been about protecting innocents.

"But what about X?"
