It’s not over, but it does look as if there may be a diplomatic solution. Obama has managed to involve Russia in a positive way — it’s clear that Putin put pressure on Assad. I’m cautiously optimistic.
But he’s slick like Willie, because he waited until his fifth year to ask Congress to attack a country that is not now a direct threat to us.Oops, Bush only asked first about Afghanistan
Putin – the conservative’s new hero. What was it -the shirtless horseback ride, the gun, the fishing rod, the big fish, the diving suit, the motor cycle? Perhaps it was those baby blues that Bush stared into.
An accidental solution is still a solution. How it plays out, as Tigger says, is yet to be seen.But it won’t stop the civil war.I hope the Arab League will take all those shiny toys we sold them and use them to end this family feud, but as I’ve already stated, there is nothing that western, non Islamic, nations can do that will be appreciated. It’s very sad.Respectfully,C.
I don’t think the “solution” is at all “accidental”, but “statecraft”.. That some post their I.Q.s in their screen names (golf “metaphor”) does explain their understanding of complexity.
… and it only took a year to carefully set up. Or don’t all rightwingers read the Wall Street Journal anymore? I guess they’d rather hate Obama than save lives — American or Syrian.
^Hmm, I’ve long been critical of a number of Obama’s actions, but the blind followers, called “dittoheads”, or “conservatives” don’t ever notice.
WHICH, speaking of “messiah”, and thinking of the arch radical “Christians” who keep attacking from their “religious” perspective of an “angry and vengeful God”, just read a book loaned from a friend who ministers to both Episcopal and Presbyterian congregations here: It’s “Love Wins” by Rob Bell.
He’s evangelical, and true Christian, who actually understands the real truth of God and Jesus— very good read, and quite funny at times, and an enjoyable and informative read, even for this Buddhist!

Nothing like a little timely military threat against your man to motivate negotiations.
