Thank you President Obama and SOS John Kerry

[warrior1]

Job well done.

I always had faith in you guys. I never doubted your cause. Brains instead of brawn.

[bowens43]

1. ROFLMAO!!!

Putin pulls thier silly asses out of the fire and you say 'job well done' ? Really?

[warrior1]

2. yes, to someone who hasn't been paying attention

this has in the works for over a year. putin had his little hissy fit to save face.

[MrScorpio]

3. Then to paraphrase Pvt. Hudson from that excellent movie, ALIENS...

Why not put Putin in charge?

[Andy823]

6. Obviously

Nothing he president can do will please you, how sad.

[MNBrewer]

8. Someone is going for a Nobel Prize in Chemistry

for polishing a turd into a diamond.

[Kolesar]

32. Democracy is hard work

& what are you doing besides pissing the day away making scatological jokes?

[spanone]

4. K&r...

[quinnox]

5. Thanks to Vladimir, it looks like there is some room for optimism

Obama and Kerry should send thank you notes.

[Andy823]

7. One think I knew

There would be the anti Obama crowd here trying to take credit away from him and Kerry, and you know what, I was pretty sure you would be one of them!

[Safetykitten]

10. The commie helps the capitalists. They really should send flowers at least.

[Kolesar]

33. You're worshiping the guy who supports Iran's nukes, put Pussy Riot in prison, etc

some crowd you run with.

[Kolesar]

36. Time to run off to another discussion thread, I see ... eom

9. Thank you UK Parliament

Thank you Antiwar Citizens around the globe

11. Oh, for god's sake.

These kinds of maneuvers are planned way in advance. All the players know their parts.

And see

It worked.

[cali]

12. I'm appreciative that the President backed down

He made the right decision.

Kerry is a clown.

[BumRushDaShow]

14. Kerry may be a bad Performance Artist

but he is certainly no "clown".

[AnotherMcIntosh]

31. Even when he did his Benny Hill impression, with a straight face, to remind us of a war

that ended three decades earlier?



Certainly when he gave us four more years of Bush, he was not clowning around.

[ProSense]

19. No, he's not

"Kerry is a clown."

...and there was enough hypocrisy and screaming "liar" (especially when Kerry said this was a national security issue) employed by those who oppose the threat of force. I mean, Congress passed a law stating that Syria's chemical weapons were a national security issue, and that was before Assad actually used them.

Many members who voted for tough stance on Syria now oppose military action

25. sorry, pro, but you won't change my opinon. Kerry is a clown and a liar

[ProSense]

27. Your opinion is irrelevant to the point, and indicates your denial of the facts. n/t

34. Typical cali: "Kerry is a clown." eom

15. the willingness of the President to back down and change course and to listen to public and world

opinion even that of a contentious leader like Mr. Putin is a positive thing. A President Bush or a President McCain would have stuck to their guns and screw things up really badly instead of recognizing that the were making a big mistake. The willingness of President Obama to recognize that they were wrong has saved the day.

[warrior1]

16. Where was he wrong?

The willingness of President Obama to recognize that they were wrong has saved the day.

Do have any idea it what you said is even true?

[Douglas Carpenter]

22. to launch a military attack that interjected the U.S. into a highly sectarian civil war would have

been a monumental mistake. Thank God - he listened to the American people and world opinion and did not do it.

"Proud member of the reality based community."

[nolabear]

17. Hell, thanks to everyone who makes a decision that lets people live.

NO WAR. Got that, NO WAR!!!

[warrior1]

18. yes

[totodeinhere]

20. As they always say "it takes two to tango." In as much as Obama backed down on beating the

war drums I will give him credit. But lets give the Russians credit where credit is due. This tentative agreement could never have been reached without their involvement. Putin's adamant opposition to the use of force and insistence that this agreement does not threaten force went a long way toward pushing us to a way out of this crisis which could potentially save face for all sides. But as Foreign Minister Lavrof said, this is only the beginning of a long and tortuous process.

29. They got lucky, and were smart enough to seize that luck after two weeks of floundering.

30. Obama is the most relutant 'war wonger' I've ever seen
