AS PREDICTED IN THIS BLOG, OBAMA IS NOW SAYING THAT, BECAUSE HE IS A TOUGH GUY, HIS TOUGH STANDS SHOULD GIVE HIM CREDIT FOR CAUSING ASSAD TO AGREE TO A DEAL THAT TURNS OVER HIS CHEMICAL WEAPONS CONTROL. BUT, AS THIS MORNING'S L.A. TIMES REPORTS, OBAMA'S AIDS WERE COUGHT OFF GUARD BY THE RUSSIAN PROPOSAL THAT THE WEAPONS BE PUT UNDER U.N. CONTROL AND SUPERVISION. OBAMA CLAIMS DIFFERENTLY, THAT THE PROPOSAL IS NOTHING NEW TO HIM BECAUSE HE DISCUSSED IT WITH PUTIN IN HIS RECENT TRIP TO RUSSIA. OBAMA CAN NOW SAVE FACE AFTER HIS BUMBLING RED LINE STATEMENT THAT COULD HAVE FORCED HIM TO GO TO WAR TO MAINTAIN HIS "CREDIBILITY."
TO ME IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO'S TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT HAPPNED. IF THE LIVES OF INNOCENTS CAN BE SAVED, AND FEWER CHILDREN ARE MAIMED, BECAUSE OF A DEAL IS STRUCK I DON'T CARE OF OBAMA CALIMS THAT HE AS AN AGENT OF THE HOLY GHOST WHO DIRECTED HIM TO FORCE ASSAD TO GO FOR A CHEMICAL WEAPONS CONTOL DEAL. INDEED IF KGB VALDIE, WITH HIS NEW FOUND LOVE FOR RUSSIAN RELIGION, WANTS TO CLAIM THAT GOD WHISPERED ADVICE IN HIS YEAR ABOUT COMING UP WITH THE CHEMICAL CONTROL PROPOSAL, THAT'S OK BY ME.
WELL, BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKEERS, EVEN IF THE AUTHOR OF THE PROPOSAL THAT STOPS U.S. WAR ON SYRIA IS KBG VLADIE.
Wary of U.S. attack, Syria accepts Russian plan --L.A. TIMES
MOSCOW -- Syria confirmed Tuesday that it has accepted a Russian plan to allow its chemical weapons to be placed under international control and eventually dismantled.
The Syrian agreement is based on the understanding that the plan could prevent a U.S. military strike, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem said.
“We agreed with the Russian initiative, proceeding from the understanding that it must cut the ground from under the feet of the U.S. aggression against our country,” Moallem said during a meeting with the speaker of Russia's lower house of parliament, Sergei Naryshkin.
Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov said the two sides were working on details of the plan.
"The Russian side is now doing exactly that: preparing a clear-cut plan and conducting at this very moment consultations with the Syrian side," Lavrov told reporters. He said Russia intends to deliver a proposal soon to U.N. Secretary General Ban-Ki Moon.
The initiative has advantages for most -- but not all -- of the major players in the crisis, political expert Fyodor Lukyanov said.
"The initiative certainly provides ample opportunities for the United State, Russia and Syria to achieve an acceptable compromise without any of the three sides’ loss of face," said Lukyanov, editor-in-chief of the journal Russia in Global Affairs. "Syrian rebels, however, appear to be the only losing side from a solution that would prevent a U.S. military strike against Assad, which the rebels are so looking forward to."
