Do any of you honestly think that Russia's "offer to help" should be taken at face value? Their little buddy Syria was staring down the barrel of a gun. Putin in this case may be technically right, but even a blind squirrel occasionally finds a nut.
Who would have thought that the Russians, seeing that there is a chance for congress to unite and support action against Syria, would all of a sudden see the need for cooperation? I think the call for a military response has opened the door for diplomatic solutions to the Syrian issue.
They stepped in it when with the "we will help Syria" commenent, so maybe they realized Syria is really not worth it, especially when there is a much easier way out, by telling Syria (Russias ally) to hand over the WMDs.

Of course Russia has ulterior motives, but the US was staring down a major Obama blunder. Oddly enough, Russia is helping us from hurting our self.
I was at work... Saw a bit of CNN. That CNN said the State Department officially said was unintended and rhetorical and that the US would still pursue a strike.
Finally, clearer heads and real leadership have entered into this, unfortunately its all coming from Russia.
Maybe Obama should hand his peace prize over to Putin.
It came from Kerry not Russia. It is being characterized as a "gaffe" but I have a feeling this was hatched at the G20 last week. Another Nobel for Obama?

I've said it before and will again. Someone that does something right even if they do it for the wrong reason still did what was right.

This should have been Obama's first choice. If he felt chemicals weapons were a danger, and wanted to diminish the danger of them being used, then having them monitored and secured by a UN or other third party was better then starting a war.
