The Onion: Majority Of Americans Approve Of Sending Congress To Syria

[RandPaul4Prez]

WASHINGTON—As President Obama continues to push for a plan of limited military intervention in Syria, a new poll of Americans has found that though the nation remains wary over the prospect of becoming involved in another Middle Eastern war, the vast majority of U.S. citizens strongly approve of sending Congress to Syria.
The New York Times/CBS News poll showed that though just 1 in 4 Americans believe that the United States has a responsibility to intervene in the Syrian conflict, more than 90 percent of the public is convinced that putting all 535 representatives of the United States Congress on the ground in Syria—including Senate pro tempore Patrick Leahy, House Speaker John Boehner, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, and, in fact, all current members of the House and Senate—is the best course of action at this time.

I'm in regardless, great idea. Put them in uniform also and call them "advisers" or something and roll them into Damascus.

Give em a M-4, canteen and 40 pound ruck and let em have at it.

So long as it's a oneway ticket I'm in.......

I think my country is going in a wrong direction. The resentment towards elected officials seems totally unjustified.

From the piece: "When asked if they believe that Sen. Rand Paul should be deployed to Syria, 100 percent of respondents said yes."

It was a half decent read up to that point.

[Ronin Truth]

On a one way ticket, most preferably.

It strikes me as a jab at Boobus.

Anybody know if the "only 1 in 4 Americans support Syria intervention" part is true? That rings true but I'd like to see a source on that. That's pretty powerful information.

If they were to do a real poll, it still might swing in favor of sending them to Syria.
