EXCERPT
“We have passed our offer to Al-Muallem [Syrian Foreign Minister] and hope to receive [a] fast and positive answer,” Sergey Lavrov said.

This does sound like the answer.
Da Fix is IN!
Assad will now do his master’s bidding and hand over a couple dozen canisters of Industrial Strength Raid.
Obama will declare victory and crawl in off the ledge. He will have “saved” his Presidency. And will owe Putin for that BIGTIME!
Ah. It appears the trillion dollar check Obama wrote to Putin has cleared the bank.
BO will move and take credit, positioning us for further trouble, nevertheless, the Russians, as usual of late, are right to use their influence in this way
Somebody blinked.
...the Clown is Pwn3ed.
Kerry steps in it, big time!

Speaking in London on Monday, after talks with his British counterpart William Hague, Kerry continued his efforts to garner wider international support for military action against Syria. When asked what would stop the U.S. from acting, he said the regime of President Bashar Assad would have to provide full international access to its stockpile of chemical weapons – a move Kerry said he believed was highly unlikely, the BBC reported. Even if the Congress does approve a strike, Kerry said it would be “unbelievably small, limited” effort, meant to punish the regime’s use of chemical weapons but not intended to get the U.S. military involved in a years-long conflict.

Kerry speaking rhetorically over Syria turning in weapons: State Department
Reuters ^ | September 9, 2013 | by Arshad Mohammed
Secretary of State John Kerry was making a rhetorical comment when he said on Monday that Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad would not hand over his country’s chemical weapons.
“Secretary Kerry was making a rhetorical argument about the impossibility and unlikelihood of Assad turning over chemical weapons he has denied he used,” a U.S. State Department spokeswoman said in an emailed statement.
“His (Kerry’s) point was that this brutal dictator with a history of playing fast and loose with the facts cannot be trusted to turn over chemical weapons, otherwise he would have done so long ago. That’s why the world faces this moment.”
Or, they could just ship them back to Iraq where they came from.
Perhaps, or Obummer will complain that not ALL of the weapons were handed over or bitch about the Russians being in control of the arrangement.
If this was the makings of deal that Putin engineered then Kerry totally botched it by making it an ultimatum.
No, in this case, Obama will strut about and declare victory.
And Putin calls.
It would be a hoot if the weapons were handed over and inspectors noted that markings on the weapons indicate Iraq as the country of origin.
Putin & the Ruskies have this gig wired!!! I have a different take on the Russian outreach. Putin....looks goods....Assad says, “No Way”. Obama gets a butt whooping from Congress becomes a totally failed POTUS and Putin & Russia become the man!!! Putin plays Obama like a puppet on a string!!!
Exactly how it will go down.
And Obama will hand over his Nobel Peace Prize along with the million dollars to Putin./sarc
“We are calling on the Syrian authorities not only agree on putting chemical weapons storages under international control, but also for its further destruction and then joining the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons,” Lavrov said. “We have passed our offer to Al-Muallem [Syrian Foreign Minister] and hope to receive a fast and positive answer,” he added.
Ahhh — Vlad coming to Obama’s aid.
Make sure the international community gets the ones that read “Made in Iraq”.
That would work..unless Assad pulls a Saddam, then they will eventually find him in a hole somewhere.
