Boehner Backs President On Syria

After a meeting of Congressional leaders from both parties, Weeper Speaker of the House John "Mr. Tangerine Man" Boehner lent his support to President Obama's plan to punish Syrian dictator Assad for using chemical weapons against his people.  This signals that the national security wing of the Rethuglican House membership (including Majority Leader Eric "Cancer" Cantor) will go along with a vote to approve action against Syria, depending on the language in the final resolution.  The Rethuglican isolationist/teabagger wing is not expected to support the President, if only to stick a finger -- again -- in his eye.  There is also concern among Dems who remember the "intelligence" that was concocted by Dumbya, The Dick & Co. for Iraq.

Obama had the following remarks following the session with Congressional leaders:

"This is a limited, proportional step that will send a clear message, not only to the Assad regime, but also to other countries that may be interested in testing some of these international norms, that there are consequences. It gives us the ability to degrade Assad's capability when it comes to chemical weapons."
