(244 posts)the continuing idea that Obama is some kind of "32-level chess playin, Jedi mind master" when he is not. There was no multilayer master plan. Whether you like it or not, Putin made the current administration look like a bunch of stumbling idiots. And no amount of cherry picked link posting will ever be able to prove otherwise.
Obama's choice to publicly say we're gonna bomb someone, and then his walk-back when it became OBVIOUS that Congress and the AMERICAN people (that would be US) and the international community were not behind a Bush-like unilateral attack on another country, he had to back down and look around for another option.
He got his ass saved by the Russians, and if you are so much of a kool-aid drinker not to see that, then I suggest you find yourself a good de-tox establishment and take a class in basic critical thinking or beginners analysis.
