Having seen David Cameron brought to heel by the UK parliament, has the incalculably Machiavellian "big-O" spotted a way to avoid the consequences of his own rhetoric? Until today, Obama was clear that he needed the authorisation neither of the United Nations (which he wasn't going to get) nor even of the U.S. Congress; now he's voluntarily decided to ask Congress for permission.
If the left suddenly drops its clamour for retribution (the right doesn't seem to be all that keen in the first place) during the debate, we'll know it was a put-up job.
