Obama Falls Right Into Putin's Trap (Moscow Times)
The Moscow Times ^ | Sept 12, 2013 | Michael Bohm

Posted on 09/14/2013 6:46:54 AM PDT by Innovative

President Vladimir Putin loves to set traps for U.S. President Barack Obama. The only thing Putin loves even more is when Obama falls smack into one.

Trap No. 1. Putin set his latest trap Monday with a seemingly attractive proposal to have international monitors identify and destroy Syrian President Bashar Assad's vast stockpile of chemical weapons.

If Obama falls for this one, he and international monitors will be jumping through hoops for years

The only question is why was Obama also smiling when he met Putin in St. Petersburg. Regardless of which trap Obama falls into, the last smile and laugh will be Putin's.

More than enough evidence ( very religious in Indonesia as a muslim, backed the muslim brotherhood, backed AQ in Libya, his own words “”one of the prettiest sounds on Earth..I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction” to suggest he is a sunni as he now backs al-qaeda in Syria against the Alawites and Christians.

Maybe Obama hates America and is eagerly walking into every trap anyone ever sets for him?

I also believe obummer hates America, but Obummer is so incompetent and so far in over his head I do not believe he has the intelligence and or experience to even come close to recognizing or avoiding Putin's "Traps.

The old saying is: "The greatest trick the devil ever played on mankind was convincing us that he didn't exist."

Obama's greatest trick is convincing us that he is incompetent and doing all this stuff by mistake.

I say No. I am not fooled.

I think you give him way too much credit. His perceived intelligence and cunning is crafted and handed to him by his handlers. He is just a puppet serving objective driven power-brokers as their useful idiot. He is doing a great job at that, I must admit.

“Maybe Putin has Obama’s real birth certificate? ;)”

No, that is probably THE FRENCH, since Obama seems to do whatever France wants, especially in killing people for TOTAL/FINA’s Oil.

But, The Russians quite obviously have a thick Psych Profile on Obama, that would make for interesting reading.

If the msm had done it’s job and reported the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth back in ‘08 we wouldn’t be in this situation.

I agree Obama’s first principle alegiance is to communism. Everything he does seems consistent with a Marxist world view and goal.

Na, I don’t believe that Hussein is the stuff of which martyrs are made, not even the dime-a-dozen Islamic jihad kind. His most obvious qualities are his narcissism, his self-centeredness, his laziness, his lack of self-responsibility,and like qualities. Sacrifice of any kind, however superficial, is not in his nature. I believe that he would love to take the US down, but if he was the only one acting, it wouldn’t happen. He just doesn’t have the stuff in him to make great (great as in big, important) things happen. He has been pushed along by others using him for their own purposes, his whole life. He is a willing tool, but tool he is. Of himself, he is inert material.

I do believe that the only force which moves him of his own accord is his natural-born racism. The only time he shows any initiative is when spouting off on mTters which don’t concern him or the Presidency, and those matters are always somethimg racial, or when he’s plotting yet another attack on whites with Holder. For that, he might skip a golf game or two.

(I also believe he’s a Muslim, and goes with whatever benefits Muslims, but I believe that even his Muslim religion is driven by race, seen through the prism of race.)

The guy who has such a political tin ear that he goes to a fund raiser in Las Vegas when one of our embassies is under attack, and American citizens are being murdered? The guy who has to be dragged from the golf course when important events are underway? This guy is clearly a tool, willing in spirit but weak in flesh.

“to bad the Republicans can’t smell weakness”

Oh, they know the stench is there. They are just too cowered by an enemy media to do much about it.

Sorry, Comrade Obama I don't golf, but I would be glad to box or arm wrestle.

In the glory days of the old Soviet Union a Commie like Putin would have used Obama to grease the tracks of a T-72.

This is what happens when you have a low brow in charge and the only thing he can run is his mouth. No experience at any level of government. Elected by the Marxists of Amerika. Sock Puppet!!!

In that case, Putin didn't jump the shark. He's making the shark jump. Talk about controlling your own destiny. Now if Zero could control his own density we'd be talking.

(Hint: read it twice).

Thanks Innovative. Michael Bohm, The Moscow Times:
Putin set his latest trap Monday with a seemingly attractive proposal to have international monitors identify and destroy Syrian President Bashar Assad's vast stockpile of chemical weapons. If Obama falls for this one, he and international monitors will be jumping through hoops for years...
-and-
Paul told a dozen reporters that efforts to delay a military strike clearly paid off, now that Russia has brokered a deal to secure and eventually destroy Syria’s chemical weapons. [Tea party friction: Sen. Rand Paul lashes Ted Cruz approach to Russia and China (s/b 'Rand Paul calls for appeasement while continuing to pretend to oppose Obama')]
Maybe Scott Ritter could be hired to do the inspections.
