Syria welcomes Russia's proposal for Damascus to put its chemical weapons under international control: Foreign Minister Walid Al-Moualem by Margarita Noriega (Reuters) 10:41 AM

Obama is on the side of the Saudis. That’s why he toppled Kadaffy. Kadaffy tried to have the Saudi king assassinated. The Saudis toppled Morsi and Obama went along with them and wouldn’t call it a “coup.” The Saudis and Israel both know that nuclear Iran is the main threat to them and Assad is Iran’s proxy.
I agree, and I don't think Putin is done tweaking him yet. Putin is going to play with him like a cat plays with a mouse.
The welfare king tried to belittle Putin in the eyes of the world. Putins ego isn't going to let him get away with it. obomas going to rue the day he tried to take on one of the the big guns.
He’s definitely on the side of the Saudis (Sunni). Somebody posted an article on FR about this being the defining factor in Obama’s actions. The article didn’t get enough attention, in my opinion, but I’ll try to find it for you. I hope I posted on it so I can track it back!
Also, while I thought the articles by Norman Podhoretz and Conrad Black that have been posted here today are truly, truly excellent (identifying Obama as a radical leftist who actually is carrying out his policy, because he intentionally wants to reduce US power and influence), they skipped the Islamist part of his persona.
I’m not saying he believes in anything but the religion of Obama. But he believes in anything that supports that religion, and since hatred of the US, the West, Christianity, Judaism, their intellectual culture and all their principles is the key to both Islam and Obama, he has clearly decided this is where his loyalties lie. And he has picked the wealthiest and most aggressive version of Islam - and also the one of his childhood in Indonesia.
The islamists like the Muslim Brotherhood are the Saudis useful idiots. The Saudis will not let them come to power in Syria just like they couldn’t let them run Egypt. The war between Saudi Arabia and Iran is a proxy war between the USA and Russia. Russia is even more our enemy now than during the Cold War.
Assad “welcomes” the Putin proposal but will demand that Israel give up its nuclear WMD stockpile in exchange for Syria giving up its MAD retaliatory weapon against Israel...3..2..1..
Funny comment coming from Cameron considering the Parliament wouldn’t back his stupid idea to join Obam.
Obama Adm having trouble re-writing a coherent script.
CNN (Jake Tapper prog): “Awkward position for former Sec State Clinton because she is being pushed to take a stand on Syria at a time when she really has no control over how the policy will be executed. “
More than that - if the situation inside Syria is closer to how the Russian report indicated than what Obama and Kerry have been claiming, guess what?
Vlad gets to humiliate Obama twice in one situation.
Suddenly, we lose all credibility on the world stage. We lose credibility because there was no cause for war, and we lose credibility because the run-up to actual military action looked absurdly amateur-hour.
Either way you look at it, this is the beginning of the end of Obama’s second term. Everything will go downhill after this. Obama is about to learn that when one starts playing for high stakes on the world stage, affirmative action won’t help. You’ve either got the chops, or you don’t, and Obama can’t vote “present” and keep office on stuff like this.
I’m sure Vlad had this cooked up and waiting to spring on Obama for at least a week.
The Russians play chess, and are widely known as the best chess players in the world.
Obama... I don’t think he’s even played checkers and won without help.
Sen. Isakson, who Dana Bash notes initially sounded supportive, is a no."It is clear to me that Georgians overwhelmingly oppose" the action
Ex-Muslim, Daniel Greenfield has written an extremely accurate article about what’s going on with the Muslim Jihadist’s in Syria.
The Syrian Civil War is a religious war. It’s not a war over democracy or freedom. It’s a conflict between two totalitarian systems, one loosely based on a mixture of Islam and Socialism, and the other more rigidly based on Islam. Both are brutal and merciless to anyone who doesn’t belong. Both have their death squads and extensive corruption on the inside.
Both are evil.
It’s also an ethnic conflict being played out between Iran and the Arab world. And it even has elements of Ottoman revivalism on the Turkish side of the border where its Islamist rulers dream of reclaiming an empire.
None of that is a recipe for moderation. There are no moderates in a religious war. There are no moderates in an ethnic conflict. There are no moderates among those who would start such a war or those who intend to finish it.
Neither side is seeking freedom. Both are seeking absolute supremacy.
The Syrian opposition that we hear about on the evening news.....MORE HERE:

Do you think it was awkward for her? I don’t at all...it was an opportunity and she saw it as that. More than likely Billy has had a say int this mess as well....
Remember how Billy stepped out to the podium before for Obama? Well Hillary is just about the same thing....The Democrats will always play the Clinton card when their party is in over their knees!
More of an awkward position for John Kerry.

Now that Russia and the U.N. appear to be talking about possible international control of Syria’s chemical weapons stockpiles, the obvious question is whether this was all part of a coordinated effort. U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon’s ideas about storing and destroying the weapons have clearly been in the works for some time, based on what he said on Monday. www.reuters.com
Daniel Greenfield was a Muslim???
“Do you think it was awkward for her?”
Yes. I agree with the comment I posted.
“Daniel Greenfield was a Muslim???”
No, he was never a Muslim. Now sure where caww got that idea. Nothing like that in the article.
Do you have the link? Of all the reporters, experts, and WH reps I have listened to today, the only person I have heard using that language is Christiane Amanpour. It was her response to “did Kerry make a gaffe.” She said that wasn’t important because...
