We give our administration too much credit.
The claim that international control of Syrians munitions was discussed behind closed doors would reveal that Obama's inner circle wasn't informed. Kerry was asked a question by a reporter then proceeded to make "unscripted" remarks that just happened to coincide with the closed door Obama/Putin discussions? So the question was a plant? Kerry is a mind reader? Kerry's own admin discredited his remarks. Why wasn't our dear leader proposing this? The Russians did not discredit Kerry. As SOS, he speaks for the the US, on or off the record. Putin is given an opportunity to leveraged Kerry's remarks against obamas false bravado line in the sand crap.
A sane person avoids war at all costs. Kerry and even Clinton know this.
The only stupid one is Obama.
