SAN DIEGO — President Obama has asked for congressional authorization to conduct a limited military strike against Syria. He realizes that time is of the essence because the strike must be launched before the House Republicans shut down the government rather than increase the debt limit. Other members of the House indicated they would vote for the authorization if it included a provision for abolishing Obama Care. It turns out, however, that there won’t be any money to fund the strike if it is approved. Sequester cuts eliminated the budget for reprisal bombings.
