So first he wants to back out of Syria

[conuly]

Which, okay, our presence there has hardly helped matters, but leaving without an exit plan isn't going to be an improvement.

And then once he was told he couldn't do that, he decided to bomb the hell out of Syria.

There's some sort of logic here, I suppose, but it only makes sense on Bizarro-Earth.

A great man said something about this situation once. What was it? Oh, yes: “The President must get Congressional approval before attacking Syria-big mistake if he does not!”

I knew I really flubbed that. I meant he never pays many of his contractors (in particular, but there are others) at all.

Contractors = do a job or jobs for a set amount, usually paid upon or shortly after completion (he is *famous* for not paying them either what they ask or at all)
Back wages = an employee who didn't get paid their correct hourly/weekly/biweekly/monthly amount (they usually get paid something, just not the correct amount, or certain pay periods were paid while others weren't)

I was referring to the former; I haven't heard too much about him doing the latter, but who knows.
