Why not send in UN Weapon Inspectors as well.

MOSCOW — A seemingly offhand suggestion by Secretary of State John Kerry that Syria could avert an American attack by relinquishing its chemical weapons received an almost immediate welcome from Syria, Russia, the United Nations, key American allies and even some Republicans on Monday as a possible way to avoid a major international military showdown in the Syria crisis.

Hoy smokes!
NYT is trying to give Hanoi John the credit for Putin’s master stroke?
What’s really funny is the last thing Obama wants is an actual solution to the manufactured problem here. It will be fun to see how this plays out. Fortunately I just bought a huge bag of ladyfinger popcorn.
The question is: What did Obama promise Putin in exchange for the bailout?
I agree with your position on this. Putin is the clever one here not Obama or Kerry. But what really struck me about your post is that -
I DON'T KNOW WHAT LADYFINGER POPCORN IS.
Can you enlighten me? Google is just too, too hard. :)
Remember when Reagan told Gorby to pound sand in Iceland?
Nah, those days are over. Our government is led by total imbeciles who have no problems dropping their trousers to foreign powers.
Why not send in UN Weapon Inspectors as well.
It’s smaller than regular popcorn. We use one of those aluminum stovetop popcorn makers with the crank and we buy the popcorn at the local amish markets. You can eat the old maids and everything. It also makes smaller kernels. Love it!
And yes, google is just so howrd!
Scott Ritter is in prison right now. Unless Obama can arrange for an early release.
Gees! Now the bomber has an out! He will take it and head to the golf course.
Kerry floated nothing. Putin was the leader on this one.
NOw the spin begins. Obama has now invented the flushing toilet, was present at the Gettysburg Address, farts lightening bolts out of his arse , and will make you pay and pay for Universal Obama Care.
Interesting just how far removed from reality the left and its fascists truly are.This weakness can be used against them, just as Putin has done.
I’m sure Obama will take Putin’s deal. I just wonder if Obama agreed to give Poland and the Czech Republic to Russia in exchange for the bailout.
This will add clarity. If chemical weapons are used again in Syria, there will be no question it's the "freedom fighters". Besides that, with Russia in there, they could protect the Christians, something Obama has not expressed any concern with.
This is really strange. Putin is the only world leader with any problem-solving capacity, so it seems.
So, these buffoons have found a way out of the corner they painted themselves into?
Putin just hammered our idiot president. I believe Russia engaged in a similar deal when Iraq had a stockpile. I’ll have to go back and see.
Piter De Vries: As you instructed me, I have enlightened your nephews concerning my plan...
Baron Harkonnen: *My* plan!
Piter De Vries: ...*the* plan... to crush the Atreides.
Putin made Obama an offer he couldn’t refuse. I just wonder what Putin was able to get from Obama in exchange.
As I recall, the rumor around here was that the Iraqi chemicals were trucked along with all of that other stuff that was traveling to Syria just before we started the bombing campaign in Iraq.
We may be talking about the same chemical weapons in this case that we were talking about 10 years ago.
