Maybe a way out, but only if Kerry keeps his pie hole shut and claim credit.

Say "Thank you, Uncle Vlad, I am eternally in your debt!" while thanking Allah that he has escaped a humiliating, Presidency-ending House vote.

Obama, Kerry and Clinton (and Rice) couldnt negotiate their way out of a paper bag. They only know failure.

THAT was in the can before Putin opened his mouth.

It’s really a masterful move, what with POSer all over the tube today.

Kerry would need to re-clarify his clarified rhetorical comment.

: o /

http://security.blogs.cnn.com/2013/09/09/state-department-kerrys-remark-on-al-assad-giving-up-weapons-rhetorical/

Lavrov’s comments came the same day Secretary of State John Kerry seemed to endorse a similar course of action.

Assad “could turn over every single bit of his chemical weapons to the international community in the next week,” Kerry said during a news conference with British Foreign Secretary William Hague. “But he isn't about to do it and it can't be done obviously.”

Kerry made the remark in London during the final stop of a trip that also included stops in Lithuania and France with the international response to the Assad regime's alleged use of chemical weapons dominating the conversation.

But the State Department soon sought to clarify Kerry's comment.

“Secretary Kerry was making a rhetorical argument about the impossibility and unlikelihood of Assad turning over chemical weapons he has denied he used,” State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.

Here, “Russia etc” is better than “Al Qaida, Obama, etc.”

RE :”International control will mean Russia etc

Russia signed the treaty banning their use, Syria did not.

It would be funny if Russia upped Obama

Seems just like yesterday Obama stabbed the Poles in the back on missile defense, to appease Russia. That didnt pay off much.

Putin has said right along to Obama.....Stay out of it. It's a civil war.

I'm sure Obama wishes he had thought of it first.

Wonder what the total number of abortions (baby killings) will happen this year in the USA says to our government.

"President Jughead's"(TM) reaction to this move will show his real intentions.

Methinks the chem weapons story is bogus, and just an excuse to assist the "Muslim Hoodies"(TM) with air support ("aka Al-Quedia's Air Force").

It didn’t take much to snooker us on this one.

If the Chemical Weapons are under international control, then the stability of the existing regime must be maintained, so the security of the Chemical Weapons is maintained. So now the “international” force (AKA Russia) has all the authority it needs to prop up Assad indefinitely.

It sucks that we don’t have anybody on our side who knows how to play this game.

I’d laugh and enjoy Obama’s utter humiliation with this move if it weren’t for that he is the POTUS and his humiliation reflects on the credibility of the U.S. government.

Nice move, Putin. Checkmate.

Nah. Just another amazing coincidence. Or maybe another trap set and executed with precision on the target: Obama's rapidly sinking reputation. Can it go any lower?

Obama is simply out of his league. Ditto Kerry. They cannot match the chess moves of Putin.

YES. Take a hike Obama and take your friend Lurch too.

May God forgive you both for using the videos of dying children to further your greedy cause with your Saudi overlords. I don't honestly think it can get much more evil than that, so good luck.
