Much respect for you brother .. but what you see is not what you think it is. This is political gamesmanship at its highest level .. and Obama has proven to be a total novice at it.
First, the Russians have no intention of leaving Assad without chemical weapons if the US attacks. Putin knows that the only way to enforce what is proposed is through the UN .. which takes time. Else, there is no other way to enforce or verify it.
Secondly, guess who gave Putin this way to delay and further discredit the Obama Administration? Answer, John Kerry. Kerry's offer was entirely predicated on Assad not accepting it. Putin saw the opening and quickly proposed it to Assad .,. and guess what? Assad is 'interested.' What does that mean? DELAY and hesitation. The US Congress will jump on it, both democrats and republicans .. with Putin, not Obama looking likr the Nobel Peace Prize winner.
Third, what is the value of delay and hesitation? Answer: UN report. If the UN report comes out and does not place the blame on Assad .. and it won't because that's not its mission, then GAME OVER.
Will Obama bomb against no public support anywhere in the world, no congressional approval, and politicians on both sides telling him not to do it?
Brilliant move by Putin.
Where is all the Obama intelligence I've been hearing about but has never materialized?
