That was fast

"The United States, Russia, France, China and Britain have agreed on the core of a U.N Security Council resolution to rid Syria of its chemical weapons, two diplomats said on Wednesday."

The agreement came after the foreign ministers of the five permanent members of the council met U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon earlier in the day, the diplomats said on condition of anonymity."

They said a draft resolution could be presented to the full 15-nation council soon and the five permanent members would also meet on Friday to discuss a proposed Syria peace conference in Geneva."

Of course this was all only possible because Obama got an impressive-sized hardon and made credible threats.

The only reason.

It's amazing how whatever Obama wants Obama gets.

"Universal" health care, or else - ok whatever you want Mr. president.

You, disarm, or else - ok Mr. Obama, right away.

You, Raise the debt ceiling, or else - ok Mr. Obama, sorry we aren't going fast enough for you.

At your command... imperious leader.

PS Watch carefully.

The devil will be in the details.

The only problem with this is that the President has declared that Assad is a war criminal. Disarming him of some weapons that he can make more of isn't the same thing as punishing him for crimes against humanity.

Now we hear Choom & Lurch are backing away from the Russian framework.

Let's see how Vlad treats that.

Wouldn't it be nice if all the boots on the ground were European.
