1. Last paragraph says it all! - Delaying worthless tactics!
Son of Cyrus ,   UK   (09.11.13)
I quote: "Washington believes the Russian proposal must be endorsed by the UN Security Council "in order to have the confidence that this has the force it ought to have," said Kerry, adding that the Russians did not share that view."
2. Keep it clean.
RC ,   USA   (09.11.13)
I hope Mr. Putin does not make the mistake of using this as an opportunity to deliver the Syrians with the S-300 system. If he does all hell will break loose and both Russia and Israel will be directly drawn into this mess.
3. attack
farrokh ,   Iran,usa   (09.11.13)
No country in the world is able to attack Iran ,Syria ,or hezballah.
4. Sitzkrieg
Ezekiel Glockenspiel ,   Jew City, Antarctica   (09.11.13)
President Obama's Syrian policy will not work. I believe that the next shoe to drop will be Saudi Arabia, which means big oil and big money. America's vital interests will then be at stake.
5. If I wanted to destroy the USA.......
writing on the wall   (09.11.13)
....I would bring into the White House someone exactly like BHO - as BHO shows, it works perfectly.....Greetings from Troja : ''If one does not learn from history, one has to repeat it!'' All the enemies of the USA are rejoicing about the present american (indonesian?/elegebility?) government.......
6. The USA is a broken nation.....
writing on the wall   (09.11.13)
.....you just have to read some online-News sites - its just unbelievable. Common values which have built the USA are about to get lost totally - its the destruction of a once great Nation that happens before our eyes....
7. Wouldn't it make more sense to go ahead with the vote, which
al ,   canada   (09.11.13)
would give Obama the authorization to attack, if need be. It does not mean he must attack, but it would save time should this option fail, so that Obama wouldn't need to go back again to congress.
8. MONUMENTAL COCK-UP
MR CYNIC ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (09.11.13)
Could not organise the proverbial " Piss-up in a Brewery ."
9. Obama Flunked..
Walid ,   Spain   (09.11.13)
This is the weakest US president ever who gambled and lost US credibility not only in the Middle East but also worldwide. Now that we all know that we cannot rely on the US to resolve our problems, Israel should immediately help establishing the Palestinian state, a thorn that needs to be removed after decades of conflict, make peace with the Arab World and form an alliance against Iran and its cronies. If Israel and the Arabs do not compromise now, they will be facing continuous instability in the Middle East that could lead to very vicious and dangerous wars in the near future.
