I know YNET stories, especially the updates, are prone to be questionable, but Russia telling it's Navy to prepare for battle, knowing the NSA is likely listening, would be a real reason for Obama to suddenly do an about-face.

Likely they were crapping in their pants that anyone would stand up to the "ONE!".

The G8 should be real interesting....

Quite frankly, it may end up being Russia’s threats that stop this insanity.

If not, stop worrying and just learn to love the bomb!

News Flash! Bombing another country is an act of WAR -- even if it's a "limited and narrow action", and there are "no boots on the ground".

The rabbit hole begins when you ask yourself why does the US Government want to topple Syrian Government sooooo badly? Obama drew a Red Line on purpose so that he could stage another “Fast and Furious” and blame the other guys. He got bitch slapped by Putin calling him a monkey with a hand grenade. Then moving anti missile cruisers into the area.
We are seeing 2 superpowers with 2 opposite objectives. Neither will forfeit their objectives.
Syria is is too important for both of them for some unknown reason. For some reason Putin has become very aggressive to Obama after the Snowden situation. Did Snowden show him something out of all that stolen data? Just sayin.

Fearless leader has really got his ass in a hummer....this is what happens when a little two-bit community organizer tries to act like a leader....it's only an act. Having rather low intelligence he never dreamed when he was shooting his mouth off in a vain attempt to look like.....oh who shall I say...Ronald Reagan...he would find himself in a Gordian knot where his pea brain and motor mouth keeps bringing his head right back up his ass!!!!!!

No no. He’s simply backing down because someone told him that if he fires on Assad’s forces the “rebels” will sodomize the corpses and scream Allah Ackbar while praising him on CNN.
