Duncan, Wilson inform Lurch that Syria is a distraction

Bingo!
Twitchy: During a hearing on the White House’s request for congressional approval for military action against Syria, South Carolina Rep. Jeff Duncan’s questioning of John Kerry got heated quickly after Duncan opened by talking about Benghazi and holding up a photo of slain Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods. Duncan suggested that questions about Benghazi be answered before sending more Americans into harm’s way.


(Here's a different angle of that last bit)


Joe Wilson also accuses the Obama administration of pushing a Syrian strike to distract from scandals and Obamacare implementation...
HuffPo: Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) is very suspicious about why President Barack Obama wants to bomb Syria...because he has a hunch that the call for air strikes is designed to distract...

"Why was there no call for military response in April?" Wilson asked Secretary of State John Kerry, who was testifying before the committee. "Was it delayed to divert attention today from the Benghazi, IRS, NSA scandals; the failure of Obamacare enforcement; the tragedy of the White House-drafted sequestration or the upcoming debt limit vote? Again, why was there no call for military response four months ago when the president's red line was crossed?"
Hey...isn't their motto, "Never let a crisis go to waste?"
