UK Votes Thumbs Down

If I go there will be trouble
If I stay it will be double
--The Clash

UK Parliament has voted down military action in Syria. Given the unpopular sentiment here at home, hard to see how putting this war to a Constitutionally valid Congressional vote would not be even more lopsided than the British vote.

This leaves Obama flying solo on any potential assault. Hard to see how he comes out of this whole no matter what he does.

Once a war is started most Americans become slavishly obedient to the warfare state and tend to believe all of is lies, no matter how spectacular they may be.
