Stephanopoulos: OMG Obama
might lose a vote!
Can the Presidency
survive!?!
Audience: oooh
Stephanopoulos: this is
the most critical
moment of the entire
Presidency and
he's gonna lose!
Karl: this will be biggest
Congressional
effort since health care
reform
Stephanopoulos: wow
Karl: Obama is going on tv
shows from
CNN to The View to Let's
Make A Deal
and bringing in trusted
idiots from
the Bush administration
Stephanopoulos: what if
Congress votes 'no'?
Karl: he probably won't
bomb but on
the other hand he's got
the military all excited
[ break ]
Stephanopoulos: Dennis
will Obama
bomb if Congress votes no?
McDonough: look everyone
agrees
Assad used chemical
weapons so the only
question is she he face
any consequences
for gassing little
children
Stephanopoulos: I see
McDonough: we think
Congress should
shoulder some of the blame
if this goes
badly or we don't bomb and
Assad gets away with it
Stephanopoulos: some
Congressman want
to impeach Obama if he
bombs
McDonough: yes let's
impeach the
President for bombing the
new Hitler –
that makes perfect sense
Stephanopoulos: if
Congress votes 'no'
conservatives say Obama
will be weak
and should just resign
McDonough: in World War
One our boys
were gassed and call me
crazy but we think
it's pretty important to
keep a 100 year old
ban on such horrible
things
Stephanopoulos: MoveOne
says we already
know we will be in a
quagmire while
Ted Cruz says our troops
would be
fighting for Al-Qaeda
McDonough: Ted Cruz is a
moron
Stephanopoulos: we all
know that
McDonough: look this is
not
Iraq or Libya it's more like
New Orleans
after Katrina –
some great destruction
followed
by no U.S. involvement
Stephanopoulos: will this
pass?
McDonough: should Assad be
given a
green light to use poison
gas or not?
Stephanopoulos: thanks for
coming
[ break ]
Stephanopoulos: Ted you
say American
will become al-qaeda's air
force
Cruz: Assad is a terrible
horrible gas-using maniac
Stephanopoulos: but you
don't support an attack
Cruz: yes because
Americans were
not gassed so who cares?
Stephanopoulos: Obama says
it's to
enforce international
norms
Cruz: that's not the job
of the U.S. military
Stephanopoulos: what would
you do?
Cruz: tell Iraq not allow
fly-overs
and force a vote in the
Security Council
Stephanopoulos: that vote
would fail
Cruz: then we should
provoke wars
with China and Russia
Stephanopoulos: how does
that hurt Assad?
Cruz: Assad is a murderous
tyrant
but the rebels are tied to
Al-Qaeda
Stephanopoulos: I see
Cruz: Al-Qaeda could take
over
and get access to the chemical weapons
Stephanopoulos: even some
Republicans
says you use cheap lines
to garner headlines
Cruz: Dennis Kucinich said
that thing
about Al-Qaeda first
Stephanopoulos: well I'm
sold
Cruz: also I saw it on
Twitter
Stephanopoulos: does the
President have
power to use force without
approval?
Cruz: no it would violate
the Constitution
Stephanopoulos: sounds
like you'd
impeach if he bombs
Cruz: who cares about
Assad –
Obama doesn't even care
that terrorists
killed Americans at
Benghazi!
[ break ]
Stephanopoulos: Dude you are a
Republican who supports the President
Kinzinger: yes but I don't even
know
who my White House liaison is!
Stephanopoulos: that is so
sad
Brazile: Obama must sounds
a certain trumpet
Stephanopoulos: or
vuvezuela
Van Susteren: Obama has
been golfing
while Assad has been
gassing kids –
clearly he doesn't care at
all
Stephanopoulos: what
happened to
GOP hawks who used to love
bombing the middle east?
Senor: there are two types
of Republicans
- those who don't want to
bomb anyone and
those who don't want to
bomb anyone
as long as Obama is
President
Stephanopoulos: so no
bombing then
Senor: but we have to bomb
Iran!
Heuvel: we need forceful
diplomacy
Stephanopoulos: forceful
without bombing?
vanden
Heuvel: no – look Iraq poisoned
the well and there is no
imminent
threat to Americans
Van Susteren: how can this
be important because
Congress won't come back
from vacation?
Kinzinger: Obama won't let
us!
Suster: you don't need his
permission
Kinzinger: this is just
like appeasing
Adolf Hitler – I'm with
Obama!
Brazile: good point young
man
Senor: Assad will keep
using chemical
weapons if we don't act
vanden
Heuvel: We can act but
we don't need bomb
Senor: 100,000 people are
dead!
vanden
Heuvel: how does using
military might help?
Senor: by weakening the
dude
doing the killing
Brazile: if we bomb they
will only hate America more
Stephanopoulos: don't we
have to
take a stand against
chemical weapons?
Van Susteren: Obama should
have bombed two years ago
Kinzinger: George H.W.
Bush drew a
red line over chemical
weapons years ago
vanden
Heuvel: have the international
criminal court indict
Assad
Senor: yeah that will work
vanden
Heuvel: also America has
used chemical weapons
Stephanopoulos: yeah ok
vanden
Heuvel: also Obama should
assemble a group of
nations to take
out the weapons
Sentor: that's what
bombing is!
vanden
Heuvel: I want peaceful force
Stephanopoulos: does the
resolution pass?
Van Susteren: it will pass
the Senate
but not the House
Stephanopoulos: wow thanks
for coming everyone
