John Kerry’s moment
“For Kerry, the Syria crisis is an opportunity to step out of the shadows of both Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and establish himself anew in front of the American people. Kerry has long shuddered at the thought that hes dovish or too soft, and his aides have privately argued that hes been more forward leaning on a Syria strike than some other administration officials.
Obama, aware that the American people are weary of war, has thus far remained comfortably seated in the second chair on the prosecutions side.

That dynamic suits the designs of both men, according to one former senior State Department official.
Having Kerry out front gives Kerry what he wants, a visible public profile on the burning issue of the day, and gives the White House what they want, a measure of remove from a no-win conflict, the former official said. If things go surprisingly well, the president can always swoop back into public view.
