Following the US administration’s takes, retakes and gaffes on Syria and the Russian proposition is turning into a head-ache.

Still, the United States said it would take a “hard look” at the plan although State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf said “we can’t have this be another stalling tactic.”

Clinton just referred to the "Kerry proposal," the same one US official called a "major goof" minutes ago.

I think it’s pretty much a given that the Russian plan will go forward, the UN will love it, the Security Council will approve it and it gives everyone an out.
The only trick now, as seen by that tweet, is how to play it so that it isn’t seen as an off the cuff remark by Kerry but gosh-darned State Dept. policy put forward by the Messiah.

Prior to After Kerry’s “unbelievably small” comment and one-week ultimatim (which is, well, unbelievable). We see this:

Syria welcomes a Russian proposal to place the nation’s chemical weapons under international control, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moualem said on Monday after talks in Moscow, praising the Kremlin for seeking to “prevent American aggression”.

The Russians, showing the world what tools Obama and the US regime are.
Update: Nevermind, it was rhetorical, we still want to go to war!

By now, everyone has seen the Missing in Action post about Hollywood’s most notorious peace-niks. (Link via Syd in the Readers Tips.)
You may also have read Ed Asner explaining why.

“A lot of people don’t want to feel anti-black by being opposed to Obama,” he said.

I find that answer utterly gratifying.
The Syrian vote is going to fail. There’s no going back now. The President has no respect in the world now and won’t lose any more when Congress slaps him down. It was the people who stopped it. Congress has been flooded with communications and if lawmakers vote their constituents wishes as opposed to a whipped vote, any Congressionally approved Syrian war is done.
The activist actors accomplished nothing in the last ten years except to silence themselves. They, on their career soapboxes, defined the Tea Party, Romney, the evils of conservatives. They used racism as the de facto root cause of criticism of Obama.
Now their hands are tied by their own ill-concieved and misguided beliefs. They have been revealed as the partisan hypocrites we always knew they were. Looks good on them.
What is the worst thing to do to an actor? Take away their voice. Best thing? We didn’t do it to them.

The Midnight Ride of Paul Barack Revere Obama:

One if by land, and two if by sea, and three if by air, and four if by drones .  .  . Or is it two if by land, and one if by sea? .  .  . However, there will be no deployment of Colonial ground forces. So it’s two if by ship-launched cruise missiles .  .  . Or is it three if by airstrikes? .  .  . Anyway, the British aren’t coming.

… we are gradually coming to a boil:

But if these people don’t have the first idea of what is happening to them, we can take heart. For, while they preen and clatter, their voices are less influential than they have ever been. Not for nothing have I stopped calling their trade, the Mainstream Media (MSM). That accords them too much weight and authority – they are the minority opinion: “legacy media” is a far better description.
