Carney won't give a straight answer when a reporter asks...

Yesterday--Monday, August 26th, 2013--reporters asked White House spokesman Jay Carney about rumors that the U.S. was getting ready to use military force in Syria--an intervention apparently to help Muslim extremists overthrow Syria's government.

Carney's reaction was a masterpiece of evasion, even for him--which is saying a lot. 

The topper was when a reporter asked Carney if the president needed congressional authorization to launch a strike against Syria.  Carney responded by...evading, saying simply that the president was "consulting" with members of congress.

Ah, that makes it just fine, then.  Reporters then asked which members were consulted.  Carney responded by...can you guess?  Evading.

Carney responded, "I didn't say every -- I simpy said -- and I'm not going to go down the path of -- you know, there are quite a number of members of Congress, and even quite a number of members who have a specific interest in this matter, and I can assure you that we will consult with Congress. We have consulted with members and will continue to do that, both here from the White House and from State and other agencies as these days progress."
Carney repeated that "I'm  not going to itemize calls or individuals."
"Why not?" the reporter asked.
"Again, I  think we are consulting with members of Congress -- well, because then we could spend -- you know, there are 535 -- we could spend a lot of time with each individual --"
