With Navy ships on standby in the eastern Mediterranean ready to launch missiles, Congress on Sunday began a series of meetings that are expected to continue over the next several days in preparation for a vote once lawmakers return from summer break, which is scheduled to end Sept. 9.
Senior administration officials gave a two-hour classified briefing to dozens of members of Congress in the Capitol on Sunday.
Lawmakers expressed a range of opinions coming out of the meeting, from outright opposition to strident support for Obama\’s request for the authorization to use force.
Among Democrats, Rep. Sander Levin of Michigan said he\’d approve Obama\’s request and predicted it would pass. Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland said he was concerned the authorization might be \”too broad.\” Rep. Bennie G.

Republican Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington said she was concerned about what Congress was being asked to approve. Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., said the war resolution needed tightening.

\”Cannot swords be turned to plowshares? Can we and all nations not live in peace? In our
obsession with antagonisms of the moment, we often forget how much unites all the members of humanity. Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond. I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. And yet, I ask you, is not an alien force already among us? What could be more alien to the universal aspirations of our peoples than war and the threat of war?\”

As the sounds of the generators filled the air and one by one each light went dark; the 2013 Shoprite of Brooklawn BARTH – MC CARTHY Wiffleball tournament came to a close for the 24th year. Unlike years past – this year was a special event. The air was filled with emotions as Joe \”Pop\” Barth made his way onto the Field in his name and Wiffleball Reunion Founder Tom \”Tommy\” Mac Adams stood together. How is Brooklawn a town less than 1 square mile, of less than 2,500 people and nestled between the Delaware River on the West, Camden City to the North and Gloucester County to the South known throughout the Country.
Very simple: Pop Barth and American Legion Baseball and the Brooklawn Wiffleball Reunion (largest Wiffleball Tourney in the US). The Barth Family has brought much pride to Brooklawn and the honor of Dennis Barth and his father along with Tom Mac on this field brought out the true meaning of the Reunion, longtime family and friends gathering together.
The Tourney was the opposite of what the Barth Family Tradition built and was one for the ages. A battled was waged by the Etherington and Mc Cann – Healey Funeral Homes before the tourney, began as neither would take on the challenge of Woody as their leader. Woody dug both an early grave that made it hard for either team to dig out of. A surprise was unranked Kei Engineers a team of kids from Brooklawn who upset #4 ranked CNBnews.net and advancing to the quarter-finals. With the loss CNBnews.net was never considered a threat when coupled with the Ciconti Pizza 18 inning game one loss.
As usual the Massengale team was led by a beautiful girl but was forced to surrender early because Chris had to attend a 5- year- olds birthday party. Not to be out done Jeep Mac Adams team went AWOL and was removed from the tourney. Carrying on the Mac Adams Insurance tradition Scott again loss his control an walked away without a trophy

FROM THE Washington Times
The Obama national security team that wants to go to war with Syria and demonizes President Bashar Assad is the same group that, as senators, urged reaching out to the dictator.
As a bloc on the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, President Obama, Secretary of State John F. Kerry, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and Vice President Joseph R. Biden all opposed the George W. Bush administration’s playing tough with Mr. Assad.

None grew closer to Mr. Assad and promoted him in Washington more than Mr. Kerry.
\”President Assad has been very generous with me in terms of the discussions we have had,\” Mr. Kerry, as a senator from Massachusetts, told an audience at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in March 2011. He predicted that Mr. Assad would change for the better.
But that same month, pro-democracy demonstrations erupted in Syria that would lead to a civil war, unmasking Mr. Assad’s brutal tactics, including the Aug. 21 unleashing of nerve gas that killed more than 1,400 civilians.
Today, Mr. Kerry is a leading advocate for attacking Mr. Assad’s regime. On Friday, he called the man he once befriended a \”thug and murderer.\”
Mr. Hagel is assembling a small armada in the eastern Mediterranean Sea to launch scores of cruise missiles at the Assad regime as punishment for the gas attack. Mr. Obama and Mr. Biden are lobbying allies and Congress to approve an attack.

TULSA, Oklahoma (AFP) September 2, 2013, 12:26:27 PM EDT
Former world heavyweight boxingchampion Tommy Morrison, who was diagnosed with the HIV virus that causes AIDS in 1996, has died, the Tulsa World reported on Monday. He was 44.
Tony Holden, Morrison\’s former promoter, told the newspaper that the fighter, who appeared in the fifth Rocky film as the main rival for Sylvester Stallone\’s fictional fighter, died on Sunday night in Omaha, Nebraska.
A cause of death has not been revealed by the family or authorities.
Morrison, an Oklahoma native, won a 12-round decision over a 44-year-old George Foreman to claim the World Boxing Organization heavyweight title in 1993 but lost the crown four months later.
In 1996, just before Morrison was to have fought in Las Vegas, he was suspended after testing positive for HIV.
Morrison finished his career 48-3 with one drawn and 42 knockouts.

International Longshore and Warehouse Union (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Citing Obamacare, 40,000 Longshoremen Quit the AFL-CIO.
In what is being reported as a surprise move, the 40,000 members of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) announced that they have formally ended their association with the AFL-CIO, one of the nation’s largest private sector unions. The Longshoremen citied Obamacare and immigration reform as two important causes of their disaffiliation.
In an August 29 letter to AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, ILWU President Robert McEllrath cited quite a list of grievances as reasons for the disillusion of their affiliation, but prominent among them was the AFL-CIO’s support of Obamare.
\”We feel the Federation has done a great disservice to the labor movement and all working people by going along to get along,\” McEllrath wrote in the letter to Trumka.
The ILWU President made it clear they are for a single-payer, nationalized healthcare policy and are upset with the AFL-CIO for going along with Obama on the confiscatory tax on their \”Cadillac\” healthcare plan.
The Longshoreman leader said, \”President Obama ran on a platform that he would not tax medical plans and at the 2009 AFL-CIO Convention, you stated that labor would not stand for a tax on our benefits.\” But, regardless of that promise, the President has pushed for just such a tax and Trumka and the AFL-CIO bowed to political pressure lining up behind Obama’s tax on those plans.
McEllrath also went on to say that they support stronger immigration reform than the AFL-CIO is supporting.
