Late yesterday, word came that the Brits will not support us in an attack on Syria, and the Egyptian rebels threatened to shut down the Suez Canal if we do. Last night, there was a big conference call with 26 top leaders of Congress and Secretary of State Kerry. Presumably, Obama was so uptight over the audacity of the Brits to refuse to support him that he was unable to speak with the Congressional folks himself. This morning, Obama's idol President Jimmy Carter said that unilateral action without Congressional approval wold be illegal and unconstitutional.
It will be interesting to see what cards he now plays. He painted himself into this corner. If he acts, he faces condemnation from his beloved United Nations, Congress and the American people. If he does nothing, he will most certainly be the laughing stock of the Middle East. Maybe we should all get together and bake him some humble pie.
