The first round of tweets here. Note the date on this tweet:
“The greatest responsibility I have as President is to keep the American people safe. That’s why I ended the war in Iraq.”—President Obama

Obama tonight gave up his ten year dream to be the president remembered by history for ending two wars.

We will be victorious, at some time, through some action, at some cost, by some definition.

Was this really the strategy for syria thats been three years in the making?

.@davidakaye bombing Syria w/o govt's permission & w/o UNSC authorization violates international law, right?

The Constitution is very clear. The power to declare war resides in Congress. If we are to go to war, Congress must approve. #RandResponds

Obama is the 4th consecutive US president to announce bombing of Iraq

The weird thing about a speech like Obama's is in order to demonize a group like ISIL, it has to praise it — call it unique, powerful etc.

Another awkward fact: You know who funds a shit ton of this? Saudi Arabia, a major US ally.

"We had it won, thanks to the surge." McCain to Carney.
— Jeffrey Goldberg (@JeffreyGoldberg) September 11, 2014
Carney says Obama tried to actively negotiate a residual force for Iraq. The Iraqi gov't, he said, refused.

I enjoyed the McCain/Carney wrestling match as much as the next guy, but shouldn't CNN put on a military expert, or a Syria expert?
— Jeffrey Goldberg (@JeffreyGoldberg) September 11, 2014
Sunday shows should be renamed MEET JOHN MCCAIN, FACE JOHN MCCAIN, THIS WEEK WITH JOHN MCCAIN, STATE OF JOHN MCCAIN, and MCCAIN NEWS SUNDAY
— Harold Itzkowitz (@HaroldItz) September 11, 2014
Let's just be glad that John McCain is giving Jay Carney trouble on CNN instead of being president.
— Jon Lovett (@jonlovett) September 11, 2014
CNN right now: ‘American people are afraid of ISIS.’ Our past 3 days of interviews in Ohio: word ‘ISIS’ never once came up.
— James Fallows (@JamesFallows) September 11, 2014
Has anybody even discussed prospect that a long war w/ ISIS will increase chances of homegrown terrorism (Boston-Marathon-type attacks)?
— Robert Wright (@robertwrighter) September 11, 2014
I'm already getting nostalgic about the "Don't do stupid stuff" phase of Obama's foreign policy
— Robert Wright (@robertwrighter) September 11, 2014
Next September 10th: "We must bomb the Shiite death squads that are cleansing territory formerly occupied by ISIS"

I can't believe we're going to have to endure 9/11 memorializing tomorrow. That just makes this all the more depressing
