Well, looks like a "solution" has been found, and by "solution" I mean "A way for Obama to avoid pissing US citizens off without going back on his 'red line' speech".
Kerry suggested offhand that perhaps if Syria turned over all their chemical weapons to UN control, military force might be unnecessary. The Russians picked up on that, ran with it, and got Assad to tentatively agree to it. France is insisting that the UN only accept custody of the weapons on condition of planned destruction of the chemical WMDs by the UN.
Obama's new foreign policy: let Kerry ramble on for a few hours and see what comes up.
I don't know if Obama can recover this issue given how bad he fumbled it. I suppose we'll see tonight if his speech is interesting, polls have him at the lowest foreign policy approval rating of his presidency, and I'm sure new polls will be done after his speech.
If he interrupts America's Got Talent finals, though, I'm voting for impeachment...
