Do you think the British vote not to align with us has anything to do with?

Obama giving the Queen of England an I-pod loaded with only his own speeches at their first meeting? And this is payback for such a ridiculous gift.

    No, they realize that Obama's efforts against Assad are misguided.

    There is no such person as the Queen of England.

    England ceased to be a kingdom centuries ago when it united with Scotland - under the Scottish king James VI.

    Our country is called the United Kingdom and Queen Elizabeth II is the Queen of the United Kingdom. Not England.

    Queen of England? The last Queen of England died hundreds of years before Obama was even born.

    we aren't aligned - congress hasn't decided yet, so the british wouldn't be aligned with us no matter how they voted

    amazing, though, isn't it, that the british Parliament made their decision in a matter of hours and it will be likely more than a week later when congress makes some action? do you see the problem here?

    No.

    Knock BUSH II all you want but he was able to get 40+ nations involved in the Iraq War. Obama can not even get our long term allies to go along. So far all we got is Saudi Arabia and they only agree if the people of Syria want us to do something. Just how are you going to poll the Syrian people?

    If the left wing hadn't stigmatized Bush for 10 years over Iraq, there would have been no opposition to Obama attacking Syria.

    The attack Obama is proposing is exactly the same as the attack Bill Clinton carried out against Iraq in 1998, and there were no major objections from anybody.

    President Clinton orders attack on Iraq in 1998

    Democrats are now being forced to drink the water that they themselves muddied for 10 years.

  • No. The Prime Minister said it was because they were weary of entering into military action after being duped by the Bush Administration in Iraq.

    I think they're war weary and are in a depressed economy.

    Besides. The French are for it. No surprise the UK would be against it.

    And UK intel says that it's unknown who set off the weapons. Funny that ours insists we know. At least, leadership insists we know. Who knows what the real intel shows. Learn our lessons.

    EDIT: And he gave the Queen an Ipod - she already has one. And he gave Gordon Brown DVDs that don't play in UK players because they were formatted for US players.

    No, more like Members of Parliament who went to their constituents and asked for their opinion. Some actually reacted to the votes they received and voted accordingly. Bravo to them.

    I wish we had lawmakers who listened to their voters.
