As Twitchy reported earlier today, Sen. Ted Cruz and other members of Congress were wondering when President Obama might take a break from saber rattling to consult with them  regarding a possible military strike on Syria.

Across the Atlantic, the House of Commons Thursday evening voted not to authorize military force against the Assad regime.

David Cameron is right. The Commons has spoken and the Government will take note. There will be no British military involvement in Syria.

British parliament votes against military action in Syria and Cameron says his government will act accordingly. Will Obama go it alone?

Will Obama go it alone?

British Parliament vote against military strike on Syria helps explain why Pres Obama won't commit to a Congressional vote either.

Well, that and the whole “leading from behind [closed doors]” policy he’s pursued until now.

@markknoller Nonsense.
