Syria: Assad-regime apparently willing to surrender & destroy chemical weapons

[Blue3]

Hard to tell if this is sincere or just delaying tactics by the Russians, but at least it seems our threats are working. If only the True Leftists and the teabaggers would stop competing to see who could most thoroughly undermine our foreign policy...

Thankfully Sec. Kerry did a bit of undermining our foreign policy himself with his off-script remark.

It's even now a rather farfetched idea.

And now I'm starting to remember how many other promises Assad has made and broken, I'm leaning to rejecting this. It's likely just a distraction to buy some time.

I really don't think this will fix it. I hope I'm wrong.

And even if it does fix the chemical weapons problem... there's still the fact that the Assad regime has killed over 100,000 of its own people by "ordinary" means. The method of mass murder should not matter when a government is being judged. We should still intervene, Assad should still go.
