The Pubs LOVE to bitch about Obama not honoring the 'red line'
he drew when nerve gas was used, BUT, do the nutballs remember WHY?

dead outside Damascus, President Barack Obama went to Congress to get approval to strike.
In a whip count from ThinkProgress, 183 Republicans were against bombing the country. Only 12 Republicans, including then-House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), sided with the president to launch a strike. Ultimately, Congress did not
appear to approve the strike, with 243 Congressional
members swaying towards voting “No.” Obama ultimately decided to postpone the vote.
