Opposition in Congress got much, much stronger after British Parliament pulled the rug out from under Obama with their NO vote on Syria.
I covered Obama's aborted effort to strike after Syrian chem attack. Opposition in Congress strong & bipartisan. Blame goes to both parties.

People remember every "red line" utterance by Obama and yet a vote by the British Parliament doesn't even register anymore.

Something tells me Trump wouldn't ask. His administration would just start secretly sending troops.
-
His administration has already started doing exactly that.

by same logic, Iraq blame to Bush AND Dems-but most folks just blame Bush. Obama WAS decider. Now US needs figure what 2 do
-
Obama did do something.
@OPCW even won a Nobel Peace Prize as a result of what he did.

There's lots of hypocrisy & blame to go around. But Obama's redline PRECEDED his decision to ask Congress.
-
Obama did not have2 ask.He knew there was high likelihood Congress would refuse. But he dumped decision on Congress & blamed it on them.2/3
-
Isn't it Congress decision to go to war. If not why have them?
-
There's a Constitutional step below that for limited combat, drone strikes, air strikes, etc.
-
Not to mention that no other ally wanted to intervene. UK voted against after Obama went to Congress. Obama listened to American people.

Obama had power to act unilaterally. Especially in foreign policy, the buck stops with him.

Yeah, and Trump tweeted his opposition too. His tweets sure don't age well.

Hell, his tweets don't even age well in a 24-hour window.
