It is all the Current Occupant will get out of the Syrian mess. Congress is not about to start Amurrica's fourth war in little more than a decade. US supported rebels are on the defensive even without the use of chemical weapons by the war criminal, Bashar al-Assad. Comrade President Putin's timely offer of a joint plan to take away the dictator's chemical arsenal faulted the war scenario in Congress. However, Russia's propaganda that the Ghouta attack was a false flag operation by the rebels is risible after the report by UN weapons inspectors. US Person thinks it somewhat plausible that rebels may have launched a stray or improvised chemical mortar round or two in Aleppo. Only Assad's vicious barrage killed or injured over 3,000 Syrians in the Damascus suburb. The ball is now squarely in Russia's court to cooperate with the West and destroy the weapons it originally provided Syria as part of the global game of chess that was the Cold War. Even if it means bringing those weapons back home for destruction.
