Putin eyes Obama's Iran file

McFarland wrote on Tuesday, "In one of the most deft diplomatic maneuvers of all time, Russia's President Putin has saved the world from near-certain disaster."

She went on to narrate how Secretary of State John Kerry's famous gaffe in London took wings and "the off-hand phrase was

picked up by Putin, became a Kerry Proposal and ultimately the Obama peace plan..."

Or maybe KGB veteran Putin recognizes a pushover when he sees one. Why help elect a smart, America-loving hardliner when by giving Obama a little "victory" he can help maintain the Presidency of a "flexible" anti-American fool?

The Nobel “Peace Prize” is a political propaganda piece not worthy of the materials used to make it.
