I’m not so sure now Kerry’s ‘blunder’ was a blunder. obama is losing support, even from some hardcore supporters, and his ineptitude is unmistakeable.
This is a way out. Kerry will go under the bus, but obama can recover.
I could be wrong, but...
You are correct MichaelCorleone...
Obama dug himself a grave with his blundering, he will NOT get Congressional approval, and a ‘never mind, we can do a diplomatic solution’ is most face-saving way out. Even better, this actually ropes the Russians in and keeps us out of war.
and BTW, it was Barzini all along. :)
