Three days ago I wrote this :
My guess is that Putin will make an offer to have Syria give up their chemical weapons, in exchange for the White House ending their financial and military support of the terrorists who are prosecuting the war in Syria.
And today :
Assad tells Obama to stop arming rebels, or no deal
President Obama must promise not to arm rebel forces or Syrian dictator Bashar Assad will not hand over his chemical weapons, the embattled leader told a Russian state media outlet today while demanding that Israel also surrender its nuclear arsenal

Obama stepped right into Putin’s trap, by taking credit for the “deal.” Now his flank is exposed and the conversation will turn to US support of freedom fighters who are killing people and waging war in Syria.
Look for Putin to release an intelligence report detailing who the “freedom fighters” really are, which will send shock waves around the world.
Putin is a chess master, while Obama is a reactive political hack.
Diplomatic Rope-a-Dope.
Buys Assad more time. Allows to play cat to Obama’s mouse.
All the Potentates in e Middle East are watching with much amusement.
And planning. They have taken their measure of Obama and are pleased with who they are dealing with.

I mean, it’s on the front page of the LA Times today…a nice captioned picture of an Al Nusra fighter looking through one of those “stolen” night vision scopes. People who would believe such a report already know…the rest will either not hear of it or not believe it.

Yes those potentates like Saudi, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait…the ones who are propped up by US military might, and are funding and arming the Jihadis all over the world.
How do you correctly spell ‘Hillary’s Gaffe’ in Russian? Never mind… “What difference, at this point, does it make?”
With any other (competent) Presidency, with that Putin statement Kerry would already have been immediately recalled, and the attack would take place tomorrow.
…or would already be taking place.
…but Obama thinks words are just words. That’s why he lies so easily and blatantly.
TR, Speak softly and carry a big stick.
BO, Speak loudly and then go wet yourself in a corner.
I think the bigger question is who writes the teleprompter words. Obama is a repeater. I’m unsure if his conscious mind can understand what he is reading. So who are the pezzonovanti pulling his strings? These people should be put under the spotlight of public scrutiny. Few if any will have been elected.
Putin: “I am altering the deal. Pray I don’t alter it any further.”
(who said this and in which movie?)
Sadly, I could not answer without the help of google.
Obama: “This deal is getting worse all the time.”

LOL. 🙂
What a pathetic excuse for a president. Liz Cheney has it about right.

When does this nightmare administration end again? Another 3 years? Ugh.
Steven, maybe Putin has your website URL bookmarked as one of his favorites.
You sure this was a TRAP and not a scripted action to cede ever more control to Pootie?!?!
Sounds like Barry has a lot more flexibility now to bend over for him.
Remember Barry, as the Commander in Chief, could have simply ORDERED the strike on the Chemical Weapons and troops allegedly using them!!! Instead he waited for the Teleprompter to give him his words.
The Syrian opposition jeopardizing democracy in Syria. When they’re finished there are no voters left: http://lightbox.time.com/2013/09/12/witness-to-a-syrian-execution-i-saw-a-scene-of-utter-cruelty/?iid=lb-gal-viewagn#1
A community organizer is just another useful idiot to the KGB. They are the perfect dupes.
I was sitting in the hot spring with a Russian associate…and he says to some babbling tourist, “We joke in Russia the KGB has taken over America, and is destroying it for us.”
And if you look at the deep history of the Neocons, he was not speaking idly.
NeoCons?!?!?!?!
Since when were mainstream Dhimmicraps and leaders of both parties NeoCons?!?!?!
I am unaware of any community organizers that were neocons.
He was referring specifically to Afghanistan, and the then impending invasion of Iraq.
The agenda continues. It does not matter who the puppet in front of the teleprompter is.

A plan going back to the 80’s; google “yinon plan”
But the real power lies in the financial/corporate centers…hence the current indecision, and the waffling on Egypt. The occupation of Iraq saw the same struggle between oligarchies; the Neocons prevailed, of course.
