Absolutely, the President should consult Congress before getting us into another war.  He should not have said anything about a "red line," but discussed this with our allies before even thinking of a strike against Syria. Sometimes  I wonder if we should intervene at all until I think of Germany in the 1930's and 1940's.  Perhaps six million Jews could have been spared if someone had intervened back then. It will, however,  be interesting to see how the liberal press will provide a cover for Obama no matter what the outcome may be, so unlike their blatant attack on George Bush for doing in Iraq  what seems to be the same thing Obama is threatening to do in Syria.
