She said, it looks like this is a safe exit without Obama having to lose face. It's all there, can you Imagine Obama saying to the press, well Iran came with the idea LOL.

The BBC are reporting that the idea of Syria giving up it's chemical weapons to international keepers which John Kerry alluded to when he appeared to make an 'off the cuff' remark, but which was then almost immediately jumped on by the Russians, could in fact have been a deliberate tactic to get Obama off the hook.
I was watching the conference when Kerry made the remark and when he said it I knew right away that it was a new idea which I hadn't heard of before. And when he said 'it couldn't be done, obviously' I said right out, why not ?
The BBC just said this morning that this is not a new idea, and that it was discussed by Obama and Putin at the G20 last week. They are also reporting that the idea initially was put forward by Iran, and because of that the US didn't want to take it up.
So instead they secretly agree and then set up what looks like a slip by Kerry to fool us all.
What a twisted world we live in.

but what's the difference between a bomb killing innocents and chemicals.
Initial symptoms following exposure to sarin are a runny nose, tightness in the chest and constriction of the pupils. Soon after, the victim has difficulty breathing and experiences nausea and drooling. As the victim continues to lose control of bodily functions, the victim vomits, defecates and urinates. This phase is followed by twitching and jerking. Ultimately, the victim becomes comatose and suffocates in a series of convulsive spasms. Moreover, common mnemonics for the symptomatology of organophosphate poisoning, including sarin gas, are the "killer B's" of bronchorrhea and bronchospasm because they are the leading cause of death,[20] and SLUDGE - Salivation, Lacrimation, Urination, Defecation, Gastrointestinal distress, and Emesis.

I think the general "international" consensus is that death is a horrible thing, but dying from a chemical attack is worse because it's not instant for anyone, it's a slow torture depending on the chemicals used.. in this case, Sarin which in many cases can take up to 5 hours to kill you ( some die within a minute ) ..
So it would be a horrible way to go.. personally if you asked me to pick a way to die, I'd choose to have a bomb dropped on me over being gassed any day.
And Assad has acknowledged he has chemical weapons but claims they are secured.. it's not a question about whether he has them, that's a big yes.. it's about whether he's used them.
