Barack Obama

As you highlighted.. this is Key..

…. Obama’s aim is solely to affirm an international norm. To this end, he already has achieved something important. He has mobilized world attention, and there is now a chance, albeit small, that he might get a process in place that monitors and even destroys Syrian chemical weapons. Almost certainly he has ensured that such weapons won’t be used again by the Assad regime.

And, as I said last night about "smart negotiators".. they can't negotiate from a position of weakness.

Which PBO has made sure that isn't the case. Look at all it took to be on "The Path to Success in Syria"!

Thank you for the OP, she~
