This shows just how much influence Putin has as opposed to the SCOAMF.
From the Daily Beast.
Syria has accepted Russia’s proposal to hand over all chemical weapons to avoid military strikes, Russian state news reported Tuesday. “We held a very fruitful round of talks with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov yesterday, and he proposed an initiative relating to chemical weapons. And in the evening we agreed to the Russian initiative,” Interfax reported that Syrian Minister Walid al-Moualem said.
……Kerry responded to a question at a London press conference by saying the Syrian regime might be able to avoid a U.S. strike if it turned over all its chemical weapons within a week. Kerry added that he didn’t expect that to happen. By the end of the day Monday, the Obama administration had turned Kerry’s comments into a new U.S. policy, and President Obama personally pledged not to strike Syria until his administration had explored Kerry’s idea, which was subsequently endorsed by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
Leading from behind; that’s Obama’s forte.
Note to Chris Matthews: it looks as if Vladimir ‘saved Obama’s hide’.

I’m sure Obama, Kerry and everyone in the State Dept and the Pentagon just assumed that Assad would turn these weapons over to us. ROFL.
A natural position for Obama. He has been doing everything to our country from behind.
Bend over everyone, here he comes again.
