Syria: More Smoke and Mirrors

“….[S]aid one Damascus-based analyst
who asked to remain anonymous for fear of retribution. “The chemical weapons
deal — there is no deal, it’s very impractical, and if that becomes clear, it
could put Obama in a stronger position vis-à-vis airstrikes.”
This quote appears in a story in the NY Times today,
9/13/13, and I think this “Damascus-based analyst” has it right: As is becoming
clearer and clearer, not only is it true that “there is no deal,” but there
will be no deal. And, of course, the president’s team will make sure that the
impracticality of any deal is as clear as it can be. Then, as noted earlier
here, again based on little more than stories in the NY Times, a congressional resolution will be passed that authorizes the Obama/Bush administration
to attack Syria after “a decent interval.”
