Obama: ......for me, it’s crossing a red line......
Kerry: .....unbelievable horror reminiscent of Nazi blah, blah, blah.....
Obama: .....I never had a red line...the international community had one....it’s not my credibility on the line.....it’s the international community’s credibility...
Kerry: ......we must decisively invade blah blah blah....
Kerry: ......the attack will be unbelievably small ....
Susan Rice/Samantha Power: ....we have EXHAUSTED all potential diplomatic solutions......
PUTIN to ASSAD: I have a solution for this
Kerry: .....hey! I have an idea!......
Obama: ....if Syria were to relinquish.....
There isn’t a magical plan here. It is a cacophony of disconnected sycophants and one Narcissist all speaking independently.
The truth is Obama underestimated his power. Right up to the point where he found out he would never get his WPA go ahead. The only one with a plan here is Putin - the only adult on the scene.
The US media may give credit for this solution to Obama/Kerry, but the truth is the world knows the incomprehensible incompetence of this administration team.
So the game has been called on this embarrassing Special Olympics Foreign Affairs game with the US being given a token’ “we are winners, too.” trophy.
See post #13. Makes the most sense of anything said thus far. IF true Obama will try and find another way to get Assad out of there. For now Assad is secure and so is Russi’a Natural Gas Pipeline.
In fact, the more I read #13 the funnier it gets. Putin truly pulled a fast one here, and the American Media is jumping all over it.
I watched that stupid and naïve Stephanie Cutter going into labial flutter about how Obama’s show of force caused Putin to cave. She is clueless totally clueless.
Obama, the Saudis etc want Assad out, and they saw a quick way to do so via the chemical weapons, only problem the Brits saw thru this, and backed off.
Obama was sitting out there with his pants off...trying to build up courage to take on the Syrians with a few bombs that might escalate to get Assad out of there, now thanks to Kerry Assad is secure and the Russians are the Peacemakers.
This is good for the Christians in the area too. The best thing that can happen for everyone, is the status quo. Assad should turn and kick the pants of the rebels with Russian support.
