This month was a huge victory for Russian diplomacy over the USA's deployment policies, rendering Vladimir Putin a prime candidate for the next Nobel Peace Prize, or as an alternative, to spare the Nobel Institution the trouble, maybe Barack Obama could do the decent thing and hand over his.
A victory for President Putin who played the game like a Grand Master of Chess while Obama, Cameron and Hollande crawled around the board like sniveling little pawns controlled by the lobbies which pull their strings.
The decision was a common-sense decision to step back from the brink of world war three after Moscow created a get-out card for Washington to save its face after President Nobel Peace Prize Obama painted himself into a corner through his total mishandling of the situation, supporting Islamist terrorists and then involving himself in a conflict he knows pitifully little about. He and his allies chose the wrong side.
Putin bit on some bait dangled by Secretary of State Kerry. Russia has been hooked and is now acting to help muzzle the Syrian military (in aspects of chemical weapons use, at least).

That's how I see it, at least.
Kerry didn't dangle any bait... he talked propaganda and got called out by Putin... he even TRIED to backtrack on what he said and FAILED...
President drew the line months ago, said that he would take action if chemical weapons used. This was a line represented by the world.
Assad used chemical weapons.
President Obama first verified that they were indeed used.
Good at his word, President Obama began preparing for a military strike.
To give his effort maximum support, he sought the support of Congress first.
He also met with Putin, and silently established his resolve. Putin felt Assad was in BIG trouble and Russia wanted no part of military action by the US.
Putin approach Assad about giving up weapons. Assad agreed, essentially surrendering.
Responding to the changing events, President Obama continued to push for military action, even though his preference is for a diplomatic option.
Syria in the process of giving up its nuclear weapons.
President Obama: decisive, a man at his word, resolute, and effective. The outcome was what he wanted, brought about because he set the ball in motion.

Kudos to this great President!
Yeah, ok.... Only one more year until he's fully neutered.
Bengazi Barry already ignited the second US civil war. I wonder if he is related to John Brown?
Really... I said it before and I'll say it again, there will be no second civil war! Confederates lost last time and they'll lose again if they get frogy and decide to jump.... Secession my foot. Rednecks will stay in line...

Obama drew the line he now claims he didn't draw? Please.
You openly and blindly support a liar, all the dramatic writing in the world can't cover up the fact that you support failure.
