Obama speech summary:
I'm probably still going to bomb Syria. Killing kids with drones is much nicer than chemical weapons.

I just hate that he can't win either way. Bomb Syria, he's a bad guy. Don't bomb Syria, he's weak. Granted I am accidentally watching Fox news right now, but I see this as the overall theme from a variety of news people and pundits.

AMERICA'S BLOODLUST MUST BE SATIATED. THE TIME FOR FEEDING IS NIGH. WE WILL CRUSH THEIR BONES AND REND THEIR FLESH.
KILL.

I keep wanting to pitch the idea to people that we forget this Syria business and help out with what has the potential to really get out of hand for decades, and that's the Fukishima cleanup.

The ten Senate Foreign Relations Committee members who voted to attack Syria received 83 percent more campaign contributions from defense contractors than the seven senators who voted against it, according to analysis from Maplight.org.
Examining data from 2007 to 2012, the analysts found that the average senator who voted “yes” on the authorization of the use of military force took $72,850 from defense contractors and other defense industry interests. Senators who voted “no” received just $39,770 on average.
Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain led the pack among those in favor, raking in about $176,000 from defense interests over five years. Illinois Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin garnered $127,000 from the defense industry, followed by Virginia Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine, who picked up a cool $101,000.
