LOL, cite your source for your claim that Obama and Cap'n Swiftboat came up with Putin's solution.
Then explain why Obama ignored the warnings that the Syrian rebels have chemical weapons.
This debate over whose idea it was needs to be put to rest now. Kerry made a slip and now he's calling it nothing but rhetoric. Russia gets the credit for it.
However, there is a lot of doubt whether or not US plans for war will be denied. One way or another the US won't be.
This isn't about a gas attack, it's about the US expanding it's sphere of influence at Russia's expense.
