HaHa, fooled ya! That was for Congress and the American people. As Obama said last night "our military does not do pin priks". Assad was in for shock and awe 2013 style. With missile cruisers off shore along with aircraft carriers, and B17 and B52 squadrons on alert in the US, when the dust settled his command and control would have been gone, his airfield full of holes, his aa destroyed, his army in hiding, his generals in exile, and the rebels would have been able to waltz into Damascus.
Wow the B-17 is a museum display or a was turned into scrap so are we sending P-51 Mustang's and P-47's to escort the heavies in since B-17's have not been on alert for 50 years.
Heck Canada should get our nukes back with the Dual key and build a Arctic Capable Super Carrier Battle Gropup and build the The ASF-14 Super Tomcat 21 with GE F110-129 engines were to provide a supercruise speed of Mach 1.3 and featured thrust vectoring nozzles and put all avionics from the F-35 JSF II.
By first backing him into the corner of being the sponsor for a chem weapons user. Then giving him the appearance of a peacemaker. The current charade is nothing more than cover for appearances sake. Putin has to be allowed to look like he's still got some international clout, tiny as it is.
I see -- you must be an incredible analyst of Foreign Affairs.

So, Putin announces a sale to Iran that was already written up, more than likely. No doubt part of the give and take between him and the president at last week's G20 get together.
Stay tuned for further developments.
Hope you aren't another one of these who thinks these things just pop up w/o behind the scenes arm wrestling.

I've been watching the "arm wrestling" for 50 years - I remember the Cuban Missile Crisis well. We've done some of that "arm wrestlying for a couple of years now over the S-300. Russia was going to sell it to Syria and then "lost" the paperwork - not sure what Russia got for that. We made "deals" over the nuclear reactor for a couple of years, even going back to the Bush days.
As to some of this bizarre "Obama has Putin in a box" stuff ..... I guess it relates to todays White House briefing on damage control from yesterday's bombshell from Putin.
I really "hope" this deal with Putin works out -- we need to get past this Syria thing, but I worry that the Obama Team doesn't really understand that Assad will do whatever it takes to keep power in Syria - he really has no choice. The last thing this country wants is an attack on another country in the Mid-East .... It's equally important that Obama doesn't come out of this business with the world viewing him as a weakling or pushover. He has to show a very stiff spine right now - I think he is now aware of that.
Kerry is headed to Geneva tomorrow for "negotiations with Russia" - no news (as of this minute) out of the UN except that the UN Weapons Inspector report will be ready on Monday. We should know something in a couple of days - point of the thread is that Russia is upping the ante and we seem to be behind the curve. Kerry and Obama don't seem to talk to each other much, that's a problem.
Come on righties sing some more praises for Putin, when Iran builds a bomb and gives it to terrorists that blow your family to eternity, please make sure you blame Obama.
no one is happy about Russia
the point is Obama brought this on us!!!
Putin KNOWS we are weak and now he is pushing fourth as far as he can
remember Romney warned Obama about him but Obama laughed
now who was right???
The Russians are NOT to be trusted but neither is our president!!!
good grief can you not think for yourself??

yes, 3 years ago but did not do it because of the out cries but things are different and Putin knows it
Obama is a coward and needs to be impeached
but who will have the balls to do it
I would wager we get hit again because of our buffoon in chief
Putin wasted NO time at all with this plan
what is Obama going to do
scare Putin with his red line???
face it Obama is a girl
