Syria said it welcomed a Russian proposal that it hand over chemical weapons to be destroyed, without saying whether it would comply, as opponents of a military strike against Syria leapt at the chance for another delay to possible U.S. attack. The White House said it would take a "hard look" at the proposal from the Russian government to get Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to turn over his chemical-weapons stockpiles, but said it didn´t have confidence that Mr. Assad would do so.

Now the MSM will say that all of the countries that oppose a strike on Syria are racist.

This debacle gets more insidious and ridiculous every 5 minutes, ya think? Welcome to the OBayMe Twilight Zone of Insanity as I call it.

Why didn’t the smartest man on the planet, a bonafide Nobel Peace Prize winner, think of this in the first place?

It’s gonna be real funny when those turn up with the union label, and “Made in USA” stamped right on them.

Where did O’Bomber think they came from?

“Where did O’Bomber think they came from?”

More like “Made in Iraq”, blowing up the Duped in to WAR!!” meme of the Left, that CNN was pimping, NOT ONE MINUYE AGO.

What would be more devastating to the long-term goals of Obama and the Radical Socialist Left?

WW3??

Or the American sheep finding out Iraq REALLY DID have lots of Chemical weapons, and that they were massively lied to for a decade??

Putin snookered him. He has to run it by his masters to buy time to manufacture another excuse. Aware of all the ramifications that might happen, I hope Putin does not back down. I never thought that I would live to see the day that the lives of Christians would depend upon Russia rather than the United States to defend them. But after Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton I suppose an Obama is the next step in the progression.

If Obama turns this down, he is a dead man.

Putin has him snookered.

If nothing else, this teaches International Leaders to NEVER trust Radical Democrats, on anything.

It wasn’t that long ago that Kerry and Pelosi were traveling to Damascus to enlist Assad’s help killing US Soldiers in “The Great War Against George Bush”.

Now, when they need a distraction, he’s Public Enemy #1.

Oh, so now it’s a hard look. They could have taken a hard look two weeks ago before all the prancing around.
