Vladimir Putin Puts John Kerry In Check On Syria
Business Insider ^ | 9 Sep 2013 | Michael Kelley

Posted on 09/09/2013 10:03:02 AM PDT by elhombrelibre

On Monday, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Syria could avoid an American attack by turning over "every single bit of his chemical weapons to the international community in the next week."

Russia immediately jumped on the offer, as Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Moscow will urge Syria to place its chemical weapons under international control in a bid to avert military intervention.

This is a deft political move on Russia's part, especially since the State Department immediately walked back Kerry's comments by saying that he "was making a rhetorical argument about the impossibility and unlikelihood of Assad turning over chemical weapons he has denied he used."

A three-year-old could put Kerry in check.

NOW we get to find out what this is REALLY all about.

Is this about the moral outrage of Chem Weapons?
Or is this about providing Air Support for the Radical Muzzies, like in Libya?

ah ah

so if the Assad regime’s CW is under Russian control, and there are continuing rogue CW attacks, the US and our Saudi overlords will be squirming about where the “rebels” are getting their “stuff’

Obama is about to let us know, and I’m guessing it’s the latter.

The immediate walkback by State proves Sen. Cruz quip about the U.S. being “Al-Queda’s air force” to be correct.

The WH responded by saying that this is just a delaying tactic. Vlad handed them their butts and they still haven’t figured it out.

LOL

Putin is not saving barry’s scrawny behind

barry and the Saudis want an incredibly small war aka a manly show - for any number of reasons none of which have to do with CW or Syrian women and children

Putin isn’t letting them have one
No party, pal

One would have to work for years to come up with a more apt collection of weak-d*cked, intellectually bereft, incompetent, and general failures in all life than the Obamadork has done with the Hillabeast, Kerry-gigolo, Whorehouse Harry, Nancy Dumb-Osi, and of course, Good old Smokin’ Joe.

Really, can anyone name what these dorks would do were it not for politics?

Oops, at least Obama could return to Kenya and become a fly in the local outhouse.

In practice, it would mean that Russia posts one unarmed soldier in the area where those chemical weapons may be stored. That would be enough to claim that CWs are "under international control."
