Obama “confident” of getting Congressional support to aid al-Qaeda militarily in Syria
He probably will get Congressional approval. When has the hopeless John Boehner ever stood up to him? And no one seems to care that we would be fighting on the side of al-Qaeda in Syria — what could possibly go wrong? This is what we lack in the U.S. today: an effective and genuine opposition. […]

Kerry: Assad has committed crimes against humanity, but hey, no hurry
The assumption is that the U.S. must act if someone has committed crimes against humanity — an untenable proposition that would swiftly drain our resources utterly.
