If you’re checking in on your holiday weekend and missed the President’s announcement on Syria, you can read the full statement here.

Whatever concerns you may have about President Obama ceding too much power to Congress, you have to admit that if he wanted to ignite a civil war between the isolationist and interventionist wings of the Republican Party, he could hardly have picked a better way to do it.

If so much wasn’t at stake, this would be a lot of fun to watch.

If you expected House Republican leadership to be magnanimous about President Obama seeking congressional approval for Syria action, you would be wrong.
