I'm sure the world was watching (especially Iran, Syria and North Korea) when Gadaffi voluntarily handed over his chemical weapons to the United States after he'd seen what happened to Saddam Hussein ONLY to be attacked by the United States after having done so.

Oh, gosh, I hadn’t thought of that. But, then again, that happened under Bush. So, it’s probably not in Obama’s history bank.
I think Vlad Putin approached Barry at the G-20 and offered him a face saving way out.
Demand Assad hand over chem weapons and give a deadline. Russia will ensure that he delivers some quantity of high-strength pesticides. Obama can then declare victory and crawl back in off the ledge.
