Assad threatens to nerve-gas American troops and you love that? You are one sick puppy.

I thought Dear Leader said no boots on the ground, Sporky? How can Assad "nerve gas" troops that aren't there?

Caught in a web of your own lies - yet again.

BUT Obama is winning, Baghdad Bob.

President Obama wins again!






Russia To Push Syria To Put Chemical Weapons Under International Control

Now that funny!!

The only thing Obama won on this is the flying fickle finger of fate,he as made an ass out of himself.

Seems like President Obama made an ass of you, the r-wingers, and the tea baggers.

Triple play!

And the UN gets control of Assads WMD's. How ironic is that? How sweet it is!

Leaving Assad to continue killing terrorists with Russian help. That is indeed pretty sweet.

Say what?

Putin got everything he wanted out of this. He supported his Iranian allies while maintaining a government that is blocking the Qatari pipeline, which would be competition for his.

Obama on the other hand now has an out because he either had to go against the world as well as the American people and potentially light the powder keg that the middle east is.

Liberals are a hoot. When the bully kicks sand in your eye and you run away, you go tell your mother how you backed him down because he didn't have the guts to beat the crap out of you when he actually didn't chase you because you were running away.

Do you think......

Nah couldn't be.

Maybe.....

That's ridiculous.

Did obama think Congress was going to give him authorization?

Could he possibly be that clueless?

Obama surrounds himself with people like Kidsuxcocks, utterly mindless sycophants who praise him for his brilliance when he pisses on the toilet seat.

 

[Uncensored2008]

We should see a new picture of him with his shirt off any day now.

And another picture of Obammy in a pink leotard.

OP, I think your name is kid because you must be twelve f*cking years old.

What exactly did Russia, Syria, China and Iran cave on? They are getting exactly what they want and that's for our pussy president to back down. Which is pretty much the exact same thing our allies and the American people wanted. So our enemies, the rest of the world and our citizens get little obie to sit his sorry ass down and now you think that's an obie win? How the hell does that work in your simple little mind?

Can you read?

Russia Caves In: Pressures Syria To Put Chemical Weapons Under International Control

President Obama was going to kick our enemies ass first and deal with the world and our citizens afterwards. Much like W did.

How much lead paint have you f*cking digested? Little obie was not ever going to do jack sh*t. It's why he ignored the red lines he set, decided not to do a strike, sent it over to congress (as he should have but not for this reason), claimed not to make the red line, sat like a pussy in Russia during the G20, sent out his idiots to sell this loser and now is going to take the life preserver that Putin is throwing him.

He's a ****. We have the worlds most powerful nation under the leadership of the worlds biggest political pussy. And this is pretty much what we should expect from him.

A tad harsh, but I find no error in this post

Aren't there? They aren't in Syria, but they are training rebels next door on the border with Jordan. Maybe you don't count those troops as real troops for some reason. Troops are also on the Turkish border manning Patriiot Missile batteries. Fact is we have all kinds of troops in Turkey as part of NATO. So if Syria threatens to use nerve gas on US Troops, but no troops are in Syria, which troops do you suppose they might be talking about?

Now President Putin is free to start building or making, or manufacturing, or finding the evidence that proves that Assad never used those weapons it was the rebels all along and obama is a terrorist for helping them.

 

[Spoonman]

well maybe they aren't really backing down, just preparing

It amazes me how inept the liberals are.

All Putin cares about is that Assad stays in power.

That is his goal.

There is no "backing down".

Putin got exactly what he wanted, a way out for Assad.

Obama was outmaneuvered by his own ineptness.

If Obama was a trusted leader, who hadn't lied about Youtube Videos and drew red lines then erased them, then drew them again.

If he hadn't wandered off to play cards during the Osama bin Laden strike, or gone campaigning while Americans fought for their lives in Benghazi.

If he was so hellbent on undermining the Second Amendment that he let the Justice department send untracked guns into Mexico, or so insecure in his reelection that he allowed the IRS to target groups that opposed him.

If he hadn't have been so weak and amateurish in his Apology for America tour...

Perhaps he would have had some support at home and abroad.

But he didn't.

Lamest of lame ducks, only 9 months into his second term. And he brought it all on himself.

If that is true, the finger will be pointed at the al Qaeda affiliate(s) that are currently at war with Russia and routinely commit acts of terrorism in Russia. Rebel use of chem weapons would mean al Qaeda has gotten it's hands of WMD's. The world would most likely be in agreement that the al Qaeda forces in Syria be annihilated. The rebel forces remaining would be mostly moderates and those willing to work with the west.

Assad stays in power and is almost guaranteed victory.

Here's a story about it:

US Secretary of State John Kerry said the plan must be "swift and verifiable" and warned its implementation would be "exceedingly difficult".

Syria earlier said it accepted the Russian plan to put the chemical weapons under international control.

The US, UK and France are to table a UN Security Council resolution but Russia has already indicated opposition.

The resolution will call on Syria to publicly declare that it has a chemical weapons programme, place it under international control and dismantle it.

UK Prime Minister David Cameron said the motion was designed to ensure that Russia's offer was "not a ruse".

"We need a proper timetable, process and consequences if it's not done," he said.

Mr Kerry said that if the UN were used as the vehicle for pursuing the Russian plan, it must not become a debating society.

But French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said he had spoken on Tuesday to Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov, who told him that Moscow was not in favour of a binding resolution.

The motion would be tabled under Chapter 7 of the UN charter covering possible military and non-military action to restore peace.

The US alleges that Syrian government forces carried out a chemical weapons attack in Damascus on 21 August, killing 1,429 people.

The Syrian government blames the attack on rebels fighting to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad, in a conflict that the UN says has claimed some 100,000 lives.

'Hard look'
Mr Kerry told a hearing of the House of Representatives Armed Services Committee the US was waiting for details of the Russian proposal, "but we're not waiting for long".

He said: "President Obama will take a hard look at it. But it has to be swift, it has to be real, it has to be verifiable.

"We have to show Syria, Russia and the world we are not going to fall for stalling tactics."

Mr Kerry urged Congress to stand by Mr Obama, saying the president was not asking for a declaration of war, simply for the power to show that the US "means what we say".

There have been few details so far of Russia's plan, but Mr Lavrov said earlier in Moscow that it was "preparing a concrete proposal which will be presented to all interested sides, including the US... a workable, specific, concrete plan".

Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem, who is in Moscow, was quoted by Russian news agency Interfax as saying: "We held a very fruitful round of talks with [Mr Lavrov] yesterday and he proposed an initiative relating to chemical weapons. And in the evening, we agreed to the Russian initiative."

This would "remove the grounds for American aggression", he said.

Mr Muallem added: "We are convinced that the position of those striving for peace is much stronger than that of those trying to fuel war."

The US Senate had been expected to vote this week on a resolution authorising military force, but the Russian plan has led to a postponement.

Mr Kerry said that "nothing has changed with respect to our request for the Congress to take action" but that Mr Obama might want to discuss the timing of a vote with congressional leaders.

Republican Senator John McCain, who has been an advocate of military action, said on Tuesday that a bipartisan group of senators was now working on a new resolution that would set Syria a specific period of time to turn over its chemical weapons.

Senator McCain told CBS he was "extremely sceptical" about the Russian proposal but that "to not pursue this option would be a mistake".

Opinion polls suggest that a majority of voters are opposed to Mr Obama's calls for intervention in Syria.

According to a survey by the Associated Press news agency, 61% of Americans want Congress to vote against authorisation for military strikes.
