We made concessions in order for the Soviets to pull out of Cuba.
"At the core of Kennedy's strategy was a deal: the United States pledged to remove its missiles from Turkey within six months in exchange for the Soviet Union's withdrawal of its nuclear forces from Cuba.
The Soviet side of the bargain was public, but the central U.S. concession was kept secret. The Kennedy administration feared that it would appear weak if its agreement on the missiles in Turkey came to light."
Did The US have other missiles in other countries in Europe other than Turkey aimed at USSR?
what other missiles did USSR have in the westren hemisphere other than Cuba?
The National Review? Please!
The repub congress has a single goal - to destroy the Obama presidency at all cost including trashing the country if they can get away with it. Nothing else matters.
Right, win 'em over...
"...it is difficult to make any country — Syria or any other country, any other government in the world — unilaterally disarm if the use of force is being prepared against it."
I would argue the reverse, but whatever. I think Syria needs to have a gun held to their heads in order to complete this deal.
Putin .. playing the smartest man in the world like a puppet!
Obama sak hangers are twisting and turning .. desperately looking for a way to have their god (little g) look like he's not the fool that Putin knows that he is!

They play chess .. Obama plays checkers!
Well it's not a done deal. Putin's not playing anything yet. Let's see what happens. I don't know what a "sak hanger" is.
This is either one of the most cunningly devised foreign affairs play ever...or one of the biggest diplomatic cluster ****s in history that happens to end up with a "happy" ending. Kerry is now taking credit for his off-the-cuff quip paving the way for a diplomatic solution.

Hey look at that....this time you managed to incorporate multiple bullet points into one response!
Liberal/Obama Supporter Auto Response Protocol™
1. The source isn't valid
2. That's racist
3. GOP obstruction
4. But...but...but George W. Bush
5. Haters gonna hate
6. Repeat 1,2,3,4 and/or 5 as needed then insult the opposition for failing to support this great man, declare victory, and move on
Instead of slinging the typical Obot hogwash you could actually try to refute some of the points made in the OP. Can you do that? That's rhetorical BTW....

I guess he is trying to say TBagger with a Dem slant? With the rapid fire changes of events, I suspect the Obama speech has been rewritten a few times today.
I think this deal saves Obamas face. It was all worked out in the backrooms. For those saying that Putin pressured syria, have a look and what we see is that Kerry was the first to dangle the carrot before the chorus started with everybody on board including the Syrians.
From another angle, it is hard to know if Obama himself is not a right winger when you look at his rhetorical stance. In the final analysis historians of the subject of Liberals versus Right Wingers will have a hard time to know who is who after this since the demarcation line doesn't seem to be where it aught to be.
