Everyone outfoxes Obama, except for Congressional Republicans.

The only power Obama has is the fact that the Media get orgasms thinking about his blackness. He's a f***ing idiotic incompetent fool.

If he were white, he would be a laughing stock. The New York media would constantly mock him as a fool and a simpleton, but because he's black, he wears the invisible clothes of the Emperor and the media will viciously attack anyone pointing out that the fool is naked.

A speedy Russian exit from Syria would confound President Obama's talking point that Putin had walked into a "quagmire" in that country's civil war that he would come to regret. Obama made the case most recently in an interview with the Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg, in which Obama said Russia was "overextended" and "bleeding" in Syria.

This will be the spin the Obama administration will use: "Putin realized that he was overextended, and the situation was quickly developing into a quagmire for the Russians, just as I warned it would, so he decided to cut his losses."

you may be right but what does it really cost?

He has munitions inventory out the wazoo. He has a standing military that must be fed and paid any way. Casualties have been low, He has fuel for free.

I don’t see much cost at all above and beyond the normal support.

The expended munitions provide jobs for the people that make them

The Generals from Africa and South America that visited the war zone to see the weapons in action might actually buy something they see and then actually pay for it.

Putin’s sales gambit thus paid off. The foray into Syria was in reality a live fire sales presentation

And the people whom Putin helped (Assad) will demonstrate that Russia is a reliable ally unlike that Nation of F***ing idiots which elected a childish and mouthy nitwit just because he was black.

But you are absolutely right. This adventure was a total win for Putin.

Russia floats its own currency, which makes the decline in oil price much less damaging than say a country which pegs its currency to the USD.

CNN filmed Aleppo, the “moderate” rebel base, in the aftermath. The only reason Russia would want to maintain an air power presence in Syria is if they wanted to see rubble bounce. Mission accomplished. Easy enough to restarting if it needs more accomplishing.

You forgot to add “and Republican” to “White”. The press seems to have no problems with the incompetent White fools, Hillary and John “Ready for Duty” Kerry, so it must be the “Republican Thing”.

"Vladimir Putin’s announcement on Monday that Russia will begin pulling out of Syria appeared to take the White House by surprise, and revived concerns that the Russian leader is outmaneuvering Barack Obama.

And notice:
No restoring mosques
No building roads.
No educating the chidren.
No building schools.
No economic aid.
No accepting/importing "refugees."
In short, no stupid nation building.
Just go in. Kill the enemy and leave.

Apparently it is a well known fact. Ask Fidel and the Iranians, who got a lot and gave up absolutely nothing.

Right. Perfect time for the Bear to bow out. Syria is being invaded by Turkey trying to wipe out the Kurds who have heretofore been USA allies.

Nice world you have left us Bambi!

A decomposed snail sliding down ramp of 10 grit sandpaper could outmaneuver O’Bunghole
