On the top of the front page of Sunday's New York Times is an article about Syria under the headline that president Obama is "hoping to ease out Assad with Russia's help". So let's get this straight. Russia so far has prevented any truly strong action from being taken against Syria. In the last two days, a Russian merchant ship carrying a cargo of arms for the Assad forces pulled into port in Syria. But Obama is "hoping" for assistance from Putin and the Russians.
Obama sounds like one of those contestants at the Miss America pageant who is "hoping for world peace." Let me put it this way. I have more chance of winning the lottery than Obama does of getting help to oust Assad from the Russians, and I do not have a lottery ticket.
Of course, what this may mean is that Obama is about to stop contruction of any further missile defense systems in exchange for Russian "help" here. If that happens, it will mean that Obama sacrificed the security of our European allies and the American East Coast against an Iranian missile in exchange for "help" from Putin.
