I guess “kicking the can” is a plan...but how the Clown can reasonably claim it was his plan all along is anyone’s guess.

I s’pose the media will try and make it sound like that, and the morons who are already in his base (again, the media and his kooks who in his cult) will dutifully tag along.

Most folks, I believe are quickly tiring of him....albeit a few months too late.

And call me crazy, but I really don’t believe he won that election. ;-)

Russia will not object to his attempts; these excuses can only fool the domestic audience. The international audience has already learned that the amateurs lost their case for war.

Russia does not need to kick Obama when he is down. There is no value in that. A weak US President and a cast of bumbling idiots that pretend to be his Cabinet are very convenient to have around.

Now Russia sends a handful of troops, they take control (?) of storage facilities, and now we have two facts: (a) the CWs of Syria are under "international control," and (b) there are Russian forces on Syrian territory - which allows Russia to do whatever it takes to protect them (and the weapons that they are guarding.) Naturally, the (b) also precludes any US strikes.

I’ve been thinking about this all night...It doesn’t make sense. Putin is very very quick to offer the INternational control of weapons IMMEDIATELY after Kerry’s faux Paux.

The administration at first says it’s rhetorical, but then pundits spin this to sound like Obama got the Russians to do this.

Let’s think this through. WHy would Putin make this offer, unless his intelligence was clear that Obama is using the chemical weapons as a pretext to bomb Syria and support the MB.

Now the ball is back in Obama’s court and there is no longer an issue. Game should be over, right?

WRONG. The Saudi’s, Obama etc want regime change in Syria. It’s not about dying babies and chemical weapons. It’s about regime change.

Boy, I would think Obama is fuming about this.

The Russians can spin this all they want.

BOTTOM LINE NOW IS THAT THE CONGRESS CANNOT BE DUPED INTO VOTING FOR BOMBING UNDER ANY CONTINGENCY. IN OTHER WORDS THIS SHOULD NOT CHANGE THE VOTE. BOEHNER SHOULD NOT CALL A VOTE ON THIS.

US open to Russian proposal...

Obama has been checkmated by Putin for the 17th time!

Obama still thinks Putin is working with his “Reset” concept but instead, Putin is “pithing” Obama’s brain...

Anybody who takes whatever the Iranians, Russians,Syrians NORKS, Hizbollah say at face value, any pledges, any promises should just step down from office and go have his/her head examined.

A “promise” from Assad to turn over all his chemical weapons within a week? To the Russkies? Ha, ha, ha...

Poor Hussein. He thought he was playing checkers with Putin....turns out he was playing chess.
