Allen West was on with Laura Ingraham this morning saying that Congress shouldn’t approve a strike on Syria and shouldn’t allow Obama to use them for a scapegoat on Syria. He said Obama “acted stupidly” when drawing the red line last year and is now looking for a way out:

“I do not want to see Congress all of a sudden allow themselves be the fall guy, the scapegoat and the exit strategy for President Obama,” West said. “He said something, and I’ll borrow the phrase from when he spoke about the Cambridge Police — he acted stupidly. He should not have said anything about red lines, and now he painted himself in a box and he is looking for every means of which he can get out of it. And if this was such an important issue, Laura, then why did he go and play golf on Saturday? Why is he not taking more responsibility?”
