OK - I think the Russians had a lot to do with taking the WMDs out of Iraq before we could catch'em.
Now, the Russians need to get into Syria, find all of those WMD, and take them back to Russia and do whatever they do with them.

If our President is smart, and I happen to think he is, then you can bet Russia has troops on the ground in Syria bagging them up as we speak. Black ops sorts, most likely. No matter who whose WNDs belonged to in the first place the Russians will claim them.

While Assad rages, his WMDs are being stealthily removed from his country by the Russians.

At least that's what I think is happening. President Obama and Putin made a deal.

What ball is that?  What are you referring to in Iraq in the 90s?

Obama did not need an out.  The Donkeys have been heee hawing for three weeks about red lines and now outs.  He simply won the hand outright and is collecting his chips.  The bonus is the table has been set for the 2014 congressional elections........simply brilliant, and you think it is by accident and an escape.  You stay away from poker rooms at the capitol, or you will not have any money left to decorate that newly remodeled home.

2seaoat wrote:Interesting, PB. But then if the weapons are hidden in Russia...they will never really be accounted for.



Do you understand a graduate student in Chemistry can make chemical weapons in a week in any lab in Syria which could kill 5k people in an eye blink.  Your accounting system is hatched from utter naivety.

By golly, did you miss the news today.......they blinked on the bluff.  He won.
Keep listening to Donkey news.......those ears are cute.

He is not a man to be respected or feared by allies and adversaries. World leaders recognize failure of strong leadership.

Obama cannot keep top military advisors that have established and proven records worldwide. Robert Gates, David Petraeus, Paul Volcker, Richard Holbrooke, James Mattis, Stanley McChrystal  were mistreated or not fully utilized. Obama surrounded himself with  a host of mediocre at best partisans with a loyalty to him....Eric Holder, Joe Biden, Susan Rice, Timothy Geithner, Chuck Hagel, John Kerry and Hillary Clinton.

2seaoat wrote:I think both of your assessments have simply been naive and wrong from the beginning.  If you start with a proposition that the President is weak, he has his way with you by capturing that utter underestimation of his intelligence and grasp of strategy.   Certainly not everyone can appreciate what just happened.  Some hardly understand it.

That's the thing about chemical weapons ...

... they're indiscriminate.

One year from now you will see republicans and libertarians on continuous loop supporting a murderous tyrant who allegedly gassed his own people, versus a very strong foreign policy President who managed to diplomatically avoid another Middle East embroilment.

Unless the crazies refocus on what is best for this nation, and get off the everything is just awful because of the black guy in the White House, it will not be pretty.  Fractured politics.  Now the terrorist attacks begin, and people will begin to realize our economy and our security need sound policies and leadership.  Benign neglect is not an option.
