It's like deja vu all over again

NEW YORK – On the eve of a critical Capitol Hill discussion on Syria and two days before his address to the nation, President Obama has offered Syrian President Bashar al-Assad a way out of any U.S. bombing campaign.
Informed Middle Eastern intelligence officials tell WND the U.S. passed a message to Assad through Russia offering a deal that would ensure against U.S. military action if the Syrian leader agrees to the following terms:
Serious political reforms that will result in free and fair presidential elections. Assad will not be allowed to run in future presidential elections and agrees to step down from power. An international committee will supervise control of Syria’s chemical weapons arsenal. The international community, with U.S. participation, will help rebuild the Syrian army and security services to guarantee participation from all factions of the population. The model for this reorganization is the so-called Dayton plan that has been overseeing the restructuring of the Palestinian Authority security organizations and militias.
The Middle Eastern security officials told WND that Russia has already objected to the term that bars Assad from running in future presidential elections.
The security officials further stated the U.S. believes Assad will likely reject the deal.
The officials said Russian, North Korean and Iranian experts continue to prepare Syria’s military and missile arsenal for the possibility of war, including the contingency of firing missiles at Israel, Jordan and Turkey.
As WND first reported, Iranian and North Korean experts are directing an operations room for the Syrian army ahead of a possible showdown with Western powers, according to informed Middle Eastern security officials.

What could go wrong with Obama calling the shots...

Much like the terms given to the Serbians by the Austrians.
There were I believe 12 of them, which the Serbs agreed to
all but one, that was enough and the war was on.
So all the threat of strikes was not about breaking the
norms on WMDs, but about regime change.
How about that.
The hubris of Obama is galling.
Was this list of demands written by the three stooges’ screenwriter ?
Obama must be one lousy poker player....
He has no cards to play.... He has shown everybody his hand....
Everybody has seen the next card in the deck.... And he thinks Assad will fold?
the obamites must not realize that they have satellite television and the internet in syria; assad knows the score. no one is striking anyone, so making a deal with these pretentious morons is just dumb.
Assad to Asshat: I elevate to you my middle finger, also the sole of my shoe in your face. Also, I fart in your general direction.
Syria, a sovereign nation, did not sign the Chemical Weapons Convention of 1996. The present conflict affects only Syrians. This conflict is not an international dispute; it’s a civil war initiated by insurgents and fought entirely in Syria.

Obama has been so successful in everything else. /sarcasm
According to an iraqi site, he rejected the deal. I will try to find the source.
Obama wants money in a Swiss bank account
Obama looks more like a community organizer every day.
Unfortunately, he looks less presidential every day.
What are the steps? Anger, denial, bargaining,depression, and then acceptance? I just wonder what that last step is going to look like?
Kinda sounds like blackmail. The Chicago way.
Make him eat dirt! That will teach him a lesson.
