This is probably a CYA story that will be used to refute future allegations that the MSM is in the tank on Syria. I have no doubt that this story will be drowned out by a deluge of stories praising the President and his brilliant Secretary of State for their deft and statemanlike handling of Syria. The MSM is that craven. It will start with stories of how Obama planned the Russian diplomatic solution from the outset. Bam and Company brilliantly manipulated Putin to do what he did to avert the conflict. Before the MSM spin is complete, the American public will believe that Obama/Kerry made peace in the Middle East, disabled Assad’s most dangerous weapons, sent a message to other tyrants about WMD, protected Israel, brought hope of democracy to Syria, etc., etc. Just wait ...
You’re probably right. By temperament, I am a “glass half empty” guy. As I grow older, I am consciously trying to change that.
