Well…if you look back a few days, you will see my take on what should be done on Syria…basically to use diplomacy to twist some arms and throw around a few rewards to get this problem solved without using the military…and, guess what? That’s just what Obama and Kerry have been doing getting Russia to put some pressure on Syria to give up their chemical weapons to international supervision without a shot being fired…but I do think the idea of the war talk and Obama twisting some arms in congress to get the authorization really did put Assad on notice that the game was up and that there was going to be change…maybe this is the eleventy dimension chess that some on the left think Obama is capable of…I’m not sure if that is what happened here, but it appears we are farther from attacking than we were a week ago and that is progress in my book….geez…
