Will the Republicans be the ones who save us from war? Vitter will vote against the resolution because he's against anything the president proposes, but I'm not choosy about allies in the effort to stop the madness.U.S. Sen. David Vitter said today that he will oppose the White House resolution that calls for a military strike against Syria.
Vitter, R-La., participated in a briefing Wednesday for Senate Armed Services Committee members. Attending were Charles Hagel, secretary of defense, and Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.“After a lot of careful thought and prayer, I have decided that I will vote no on the Syria war resolution,” he said in a news release today.
Sen. Mary Landrieu (D) and Rep. Bill Cassidy (R) are still undecided.
My guess is President Obama will order the strikes whether Congress votes in favor of the resolution or not, to what good purpose I cannot see.
