#1 I wonder what would happen if Obama ordered a strike and the military refused to carry it out on the grounds it's an unlawful order.

#4 I believe West is doing two clever things here (1) making it appear as if the left and blacks are not in lockstep with Obama (2) laying the bait for Republicans to start impeachment which will easily be manipulated by the media into racist attacks which will build Obamas poll numbers again.

#6 At last check, the Bammer is repor prepping a covert deal which requires Baby Assad to leave power [unlikely].

Will he the Bammer still attack Assad iff Congress fails to authorize a milstrike, i.e. NO CONGRESSIONAL MANDATE; andor will he still strike Assad even iff the UNO determines that Assad didn't commit the chemical attack, i.e. ATTACK EVEN IFF ASSAD IS N-O-T THE PERPETRATOR - FYI ANY US CONGRESSIONAL OR UNO MANDATE TO ATTACK ASSAD IN SYRIA IS BY DEFINITION NOT A MANDATE TO ATTACK IRAN???

AFAIK he's still NOT armed the Rebels, nor has placed key conditions on US aid to them, + NO ONE IN wASHINGTON OR THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY WANTS RADICAL ISLAMIST-JIHADI/MILTERR GROUPS TO GET THEIR HANDS ON ASSAD'S WMDS + MILTECHS.
