US President Obama today applauded a deal reached on a United Nations resolution to eliminate Syria's chemical weapons stockpiles, calling it a potentially huge victory for the international community.

Obama hailed the resolution and disarmament plans as a "legally binding" and "verifiable" initiative which threatens consequences if Syria did not adhere to conditions.

Under a deal reached yesterday, a proposed UN resolution would require Syria to give up its chemical weapons stockpiles and allow inspectors access to all sites.

The proposal does not call for force, which would require a second resolution if Syria fails to comply.

Does anyone see the problem here?

I kinda like it. But then I like lost luggage.

Syria deal 'huge victory' for international community: Obama

Was this before or after he said to Putin: "Thank you, sir. May I have another?"

[SWAMPSNIPER]

He is counting his chickens before they hatch again, or he has cut a deal we don’t know about!

Does anyone see the problem here?

0bama's an idiot?

[BenLurkin]

You’re getting warm.

[vpintheak]

Wow, what punk our POTUS is. Leading from his behind again.

[justa-hairyape]

Dear Emperor,

While you were reading the teleprompter, Assad claimed that Syria does not need their Chemical Weapons as a deterrent to Israel's nuclear weapons. Assad claims to now have the capability to instantly blind Israel. Perhaps you can tell the international community exactly what Assad meant ?

[Gator113]

I have no idea why that is so funny, but I can’t quit laughing.

[TigersEye]

Assad gets to continue to kill people by the thousands with conventional weapons
now that the leverage to stop him has been neutralized ... because 0bama's an idiot!?!

[VerySadAmerican]

The muslim touted this crap trying to get his approval numbers up thus giving him strength against the house. It’ll probably work.

[darkwing104]

The idiot will never admit defeat...Now he can't anything to help his Mo Bros

[newnhdad]

So the media declared this a victory, Putin and Assad clinked their glasses in celebration and Obama hit the links with his buddy Reggie.
Meanwhile, the US Navy is stuck in a small space with a few dozen of their enemies within striking distance and no support from the shrinking list of allies.

[Mike Darancette]

It is a real loser for Obama though.

[BenLurkin]

What bothers me is that Hussein in more concerned about “the international community” succeeding than he is about America.

[MestaMachine]

obama hasn't personally lost anything since this was the outcome he was seeking all along. It was others who kept pressuring him to attack assad. He never wanted to because he is iran's boy and attacking assad would be going against his personal preference. I guarantee you that no one breathed a heavier sigh of relief than obama when Putin rode in on his white horse, even if it looked like ohaha was being humiliated.

This is a Threat Matrix list documenting threats within and without. Anyone wanting on or off please advise.

[sport]

I do. Number one is Obama saying it is a good deal. And it probably goes downhill from there.

[danamco]

They mean the Iraqi WMD???

[rodguy911]

Zero is a sunni muslim.Syria is run by a branch of shia muzzies and has been since Assads father took over in 1950.Right away you would have a huge conflict for anyone who took their religion seriously as zero does not.
zero allowing syria and iran to pretty much do whatever they want is testament to the fact that he runs little or nothing in the govt. I have always believed that,it the only thing that makes any sense.
Meanwhile Valerie Jarrett does have Iranian roots.
Could be popcorn time.

Doesn’t he mean Putin’s deal?
