I don't agree with the logic. It was a stupid fallacious ad hominem attack and nothing more.
Exactly...
Assad should say that Obama isn't giving his people enough job opportunities, as a human rights violation and should seek regime change in the US.
Whatever.
The argument was to point out illogic, and was meant to personalize the logic to your own life. You didn't seem to not understand how your logic impacts others.
Not an ad hom at all...
Thats what I said, an ad hominem attack.
The US military was involved in oh so many military actions without congressional approval........
1983–89 – Honduras. In July 1983, the United States undertook a series of exercises in Honduras that some believed might lead to conflict with Nicaragua. On March 25, 1986, unarmed U.S. military helicopters and crewmen ferried Honduran troops to the Nicaraguan border to repel Nicaraguan troops....

Too many to list.
Milatary action started in Iraq sometime between April to June of 2002 and Bush didn't get congressional authorization until October 2002....thats five months after military action had already started. So Bush broke the law but hey, you voted for him so that makes it okay, eh?
Congress didn't approve Kosovo at all....

Oh so now you're saying it is legal to use military action without congressional approval? Back peddle much?
Regan did not have congressional authority to attack Libya....
Operation El Dorado Canyon
The attack was condemned by many countries. By a vote of 79 in favor to 28 against with 33 abstentions, the United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution 41/38 which "condemns the military attack perpetrated against the Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya on 15 April 1986, which constitutes a violation of the Charter of the United Nations and of international law."[41]
A meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement said that it condemned the "dastardly, blatant and unprovoked act of aggression". The League of Arab States expressed that it was outraged at the United States aggression and that it reinforced an element of anarchy in international relations. The Assembly of Heads of State of the African Union in its declaration said that the deliberate attempt to kill Libyans violated the principles of international law. The Government of Iran asserted that the attack constituted a policy of aggression, gunboat diplomacy, an act of war, and called for an extensive political and economic boycott of the United States. Others saw the United States motive as an attempt to eliminate Libya's revolution.[32] China stated that the US attack violated norms of international relations and had aggravated tension in the region. The Soviet Union said that there was a clear link between the attack and U.S. policy aimed at stirring up existing hotbeds of tension and creating new ones, and at destabilizing the international situation. West Germany stated that international disputes required diplomatic and not military solutions, and France also criticized the bombing. Italy, Spain, and France all denied the US use of their airspace en route to Libya. This forced the USAF's F-111s, stationed at RAF Lakenheath in Great Britain, to circumnavigate continental Europe and approach Libya via the Strait of Gibraltar.[42]
Some observers held the opinion that Article 51 of the UN Charter set limitations on the use of force in exercising the legitimate right of self-defense in the absence of an act of aggression, and affirmed that there was no such act by Libya. It was charged that the United States did not bother to exhaust the Charter provisions for settling disputes under Article 33. Others asserted that Libya was innocent in the bombing of the West Berlin discothèque.[43]...."

Oh, so it's only illegal when a democrat president does it, eh? Or is it just black presidents?
Nice cut and paste. Too bad you didn't read it yourself.

Hmm well there we go, as long as we are focused on Syria all that talk about those 'phony' scandals is long forgotten.
I contend there's only issue that all Americans regardless of party affiliation or political bent should be concerned with and
that is, "Mr President, where are the jobs" Just that over and over and over again: It's the economy stupid.
When you awake tomorrow morning will what went on in Syria have any effect on your day?
Its really unbelievable That Liberals led by the biggest Liberal of all want to help the terrorists...........No, worse than that... They are supporting the same terrorists that perpetrated 9-11.
You are probaby the 10th person to post that video, NP. Newsflash, Syria is in the middle of a civil war.
Really, and here I thought it was you righties who think murdering our people is a natural right.
I don't really care. <shrug>
.
evidently a lot of you lefties did not watch. Stay the hell out of Syria..........No waste of our military lives or treasure....period
Obama is a righty in your mind?
Do you believe everything Obama says?
Given a choice between her and Krazy Uncle Joe she'd certainly have my vote!
evidently a lot of you lefties did not watch. Stay the hell out of Syria..........No waste of our military lives or treasure....period
No leader in his right mind from either party would get involved with that mess. I'm fairly certain a Conservative wouldn't be siding with the insurgents, that's not what we do. LBJ quit after screwing up nam, Clinton had Blackhawk down and attacked the wrong side in Yugoslavia Hell stop and think for a sec, sick Willie shot cruise missiles into Iraq on the eve of the impeachment hearings I contend that is the exact same thing ohbummer is trying to so here and as is par for the course he's mucked it up royally once moreIf a Republican were leading this cause
No my friend I sat out the last election (first one since 1980) for just that reason
I don't plan to ever bother to vote again, have you ever tried to get your name off the voter rolls?
