Nope. All you have to go on is Syria's words, not it's actions. The President is rightfully skeptical, as the Syrian leadership has never played straight with the world in any of its actions.
Not sure if you're a liberal or not, but I've noted MANY times that liberals and Democrats have never been known for their extraordinary foresight. Your willingness to believe what you're reading is very telling.
I , on the other hand, call bullshiite. I stand with Barack Obama on this. Syria has no intention to have its chemical weapons destroyed.....Vladimir Putin has no intent to please the United States....this whole thing is a ploy intended to give Obama a way out. When the dust settles, the truth will be known. (Benghazi anyone??)

What a biased piece of tripe your rant about Syria is while ignoring all the OTHER countries committing atrocities that were never addressed by other Presidents. We KNOW you hate Obama, no need to feign concern for others, just be honest and admit it's all about your hatred.
Hey! Chill out...Dennis Rodman is lining that mess out................
Transferring it's chemical weapons is not punishment. The world should be ashamed of letting another Hitler-esque dictator kill his own people with chemical weapons. Except this time, it's a slap on the wrist instead of intervention.
Barack Obama had it right: A strike on Syria is necessary. I supported, and still support, those strikes.
I guess when you've got Vladimir Putin staring you in the face, the United States is nothing more than a neutered cat. At least that's what this latest "proposal" indicates.
What a ****ing embarrassment this President has bestowed on the legacy of the United States of America.
Wow, you sing the prases of Putin while screaming about Obama then you say we should have punished Assad, such total confusion as to who to back.
Al Qaeda is a player in the region, but not the only player. I get tired of hearing these "why support Al Qaeda" claims as if such a question will appeal to the senses and sensitivities and therefore make us turn tail and run. I've yet to hear the American administration....or the world for that matter.....place as much emphasis on AQ as the poster's on this forum. Sorry, i'm not buying it in totality. Giving AQ a boost is A consideration, but it's not THE consideration that matters most. If so, then we might as well pack up and renounce our superpower status if AQ is enough to keep us from defending against the use of chemical weapons.
Is that the America that you envision? Cower to AQ? Cower to dictatorial use of chemical weapons?
Not me.
In other words, you have no evidence that Assad was responsible for the use of Sarin gas. It is blatantly obvious that your, and Obama's, sole objective is to help out your al Qaeda buddies. Was not the weapons and support your messiah sent them in Libya enough? Why are Democrats so eager to support al Qaeda in every endeavor? You need not answer, they were entirely rhetorical questions. We already know the answer.
What’s unclear is whether Obama understands that his foreign policy legacy will be to have ruined the American position in the Middle East, our patrimony of the last seven decades. If the 1979 takeover of the U.S. embassy in Tehran signaled weakness, the Russian deal screams surrender. The real surprise is that it’s not Iran kicking the United States out of the region under Obama’s watch, but Putin.
What pressure? Putin thinks of Barack as an amatuer fool who is in way over his head. When Barack is gone, Putin will still be in power.
And? Russia has an economy comparable to that of California, one state out of 50. The 50's are over. The fact that the U.S. can squash Russia like a bug through force and/or sanctions was not lost on Putin.
Figure it out. Obama threatens military action and Putin tells Assad it's time to make a deal, because Russia can't afford to go to the mat for him.
Not that complicated. But feel free to spin in whatever direction makes you feel justified to feed your anger.
Nope..foreign news sites.
