Syria 'welcomes' proposal to hand over control of chemical weapons - CNN.com

Has a diplomatic solution finally been found?

Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem told reporters in Moscow that his nation "welcomes" a proposal Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov made during talks Monday morning: put Syria's chemical weapons under international control to avert a U.S. military response.

"I declare that the Syrian Arab Republic welcomes Russia's initiative, on the basis that the Syrian leadership cares about the lives of our citizens and the security in our country," Moallem said. "We are also confident in the wisdom of the Russian government, which is trying to prevent an American aggression against our people."

The comments came after Secretary of State John Kerry discussed a similar scenario, but a State Department spokeswoman said earlier Monday that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad could not be trusted to hand over the country's chemical weapons stockpile.

Ой, ну тут проще простого: дружки сговорились, как обезвредить Обаму и потом посмеяться над ним.
Я абсолютно против бомбёжки, но то, что преступники уйдут от ответа, удручает.

Простая идея. Жаль, что я не додумался до неё. Честно говоря, голова работала не ту сторону.
Это шанс для Обамы. Если он хочет найти повод, чтобы не воевать, то вот он.
Но это и тест для Обамы. Если он хочет воевать, то проигнорирует этот вариант решения проблемы.
