Works for me. Beat him, let him humiliate himself.

Taken at face value, it is a dignified and far-sighted move by Republicans.

Damaging Obama politically is not worth setting a dangerous precedent.

And the low-life Democrats would retaliate (repeatedly) when a Republican enters the White House starting in January 2017.

The Republican leadership is saying that if they don't have the votes to grant the use-of-force authorization in the House, there will not be a vote, because they will not allow the president to be humiliated on the international stage.

They will not allow the world to see that the elected representatives of the people oppose the president's policy, even when he's made this case for national security. Although he hasn't. That's the problem. Obama has not told us what this has to do with America's vital national interests. He hasn't told us what this has to do with American national security. And he can't. He doesn't have an answer for it.

So now the Republican Party leadership has a chance here to... Do you think the Democrats would withhold this so as not to offend Bush or so as not to humiliate Bush? Now, I can understand some of it. This like Dr. Kissinger said yesterday, that it would be precedent setting. It's never happened that a Congress has refused a presidential request that is grounded in American national security. Well, this isn't. At least not one that's been persuasive.

But I can see the striped-pants crowd up at Foggy Bottom, in State Department parlance, being all atwitter. "Oh, my God! What does the world think? The Congress didn't grant the use of force! What is the world going to think?" I think it's about time the world knew the truth about what the people of this country think of this guy. Folks, the people of this country are lagging behind what the rest of the world thinks of Obama, I'm here to tell you.

So can I. No need to satisfy egos and make it about congress humiliating the putz. He's doing that all alone, plus why give ammo for later down the line?
