Checkmate: Russia and Syria Make Peaceful Weapons Deal


The Obama administration unable to diplomatically come to a peaceful resolution and trying to rush to at attack, Russia’s Vladimir Putin was working a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

Syria said Tuesday it has accepted Russia’s proposal to place its chemical weapons under international control for subsequent dismantling.

Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem said Tuesday after meeting with Russian parliament speaker that his government quickly “agreed to the Russian initiative.”

France, United Kingdom, and many other countries back Putins’ plan vs Obama plan of attack.

Ironically Obama on Tues morning said in statement that Iran was well aware of WMD. Obama said Saddam Hussein used WMD against Iranians in the Iran-Iraq war. Obama admitting Iraq did in fact have WMD, in a first admission from the Obama administration.

President Barack Obama now backed in a corner said Monday the Russian proposal could be “potentially a significant breakthrough,” but he remained skeptical that Syria would follow through.

President Obama facing a Congressional defeat that many in both parties believed could hobble his presidency. And by the end of the day, he found himself in the odd position of relying on his Russian counterpart, Vladimir V. Putins’ peaceful resolution to bail him out.

The surprise Russian proposal to defuse the American confrontation with Syria made a tenuous situation even more volatile for a president struggling to convince a deeply skeptical public of the need for the United States to respond militarily in yet another Middle Eastern country.

In effect, Mr. Obama is now caught between trying to work out a deal with Mr. Putin, with whom he has been feuding lately, or trying to win over Republicans in the House who have made it their mission to block his agenda. Even if he does not trust Mr. Putin, Mr. Obama will have to decide whether to treat the Russian proposal seriously or assume it is merely a means of obstructing an American military strike.

Obama now needs to explain why Congress should still vote to authorize such a strike in the face of a possible diplomatic solution and what if any conditions would satisfy him enough to order American destroyers in the eastern Mediterranean Sea not to act, at least for now. And he has to win over a public that by significant margins opposes American military action.

The twists and turns in the Syria debate have whipsawed the nation’s capital and by some accounts imperiled Mr. Obama’s presidency. There’s every reason to believe so far that Russia is playing it cards right, making Obama again look like the fumbling clueless President he is!

The question is where did the WMD come from, is it part of Saddam’s arsenal?
