US and Russia strike agreement on Syria
2013-09-14
Put on the galoshes, fellas. The boollsh*t is about to get unusually deep today

From TFA:


Russia and the United States announced Saturday that they have reached a groundbreaking deal on a framework to eliminate Syria's chemical weapons, after talks in Switzerland.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stood side-by-side as they set out a series of steps the Syria government must follow.

Syria must submit within one week a comprehensive list of its chemical weapons stockpile, Kerry said, and international inspectors must be on the ground no later than November

#9  Ship, a negotiation between Edwin Edwards and John Fn Kerry is something I'd pay money to see. Just to make it sporting you'd have to give Edwards time limits. "Eddie, you got to have his watch and wallet before you sit down. You got ten minutes to get title to his yacht. By twenty minutes he's got to be hopping on one leg and whistling Dixie..."

#8   Must be nearly impossible for Lavrov to keep a straight face ?

He's had lots of practice dealing with self-important imbeciles from Third World countries.

#5  It takes a special kind of guy to lose the moral high ground to an unrepentant KGB thug who sits at the top of the world's largest kleptocracy, but I do believe Champ has managed it.
