Looks like Obama has found a way to avoid striking Syria and saving some face. Kerry proposed a deal where Assad gives up his chemical weapons and we don't bomb him. And, bingo, the Russians take us up on it. Details are unclear, but Congress will be able to avoid voting for military action that the voters are dead set against, and the democrats in Congress will be able to avoid hanging Obama out to dry.
Looks like the famous collision between the irresistible force and the immovable object has been side stepped.
Side stepping is so attractive to every one that it will probably take place.
Now we can get on with the debt limit, the budget, Obamacare, immigration, IRS, EPA, and what to do about Detroit.
