you make an assumption Putin and Syria negotiated anything. Kerry presented an opening in his comments todat that the Russian ambassador jumped on and in a matter of hours connected with Putin who turned around and connected with Syria.
Putin has not only stolen the show, he saved Obama's bacon who now does not need a vote in congress or worry about what the US people think.
We are being played by a professional (Putin).
Can you imagine any decision like this being made in our system within a matter of hours??? Don't work to hard on imagining....it is impossible.
Whew now we can put that one on the back burner.
