Kerry and US have embraced Putin's proposal

mercredi 11 septembre 2013 à 14:00

Kerry and the US have embraced Putin's proposal of putting Assad's chemical weapons under international control.

Kerry mentioned the idea, not as a suggestion, but as a hoop that surely Assad would not jump through. Putin then proposed it for real. (I wanted to say he made it a "serious proposal", but the pun seems distracting.)

Obama's insistence on attacking created the situation where this proposal could be supported by the Security Council. But I see no sign that Obama aimed for this result. It was a fluke.

If Congress had not resisted Obama's demand for war, he would have attacked already and this diplomatic solution would not have been considered.

Obama deserves a little praise for being willing to switch from war to diplomacy when diplomacy shows a good chance of success. But he and his supporters are trying to badmouth the plan even while accepting it.
