During interviews on CNN and Fox News, President Obamas plan to destroy Syrias chemical weapons without launching a single missile became obvious, as he is outsmarting the media and his Republican critics.

When asked by Wolf Blitzer if the proposal for Syria to turn over their chemicals weapons to the international community for monitoring was a way to possibly avoid a military strike, the president said:
"Its possible if its real, and I think its certainly a positive development when the Russians and the Syrians both make gestures towards dealing with these chemicals weapons. This is what we have been asking for not just over the last week, or the last month, but for the last couple of years, because these chemical weapons pose a serious threat to all nations, and to the United States in particular. Thats why 98% of humanity said we dont use these. That protects our troops and it protects children like the ones that we saw on those videos inside of Syria, so it is a potentially positive development."
It's worth reading the whole article in sequence and the video clip..

Nothing's for sure until Assad hands over his weapons and here's hoping he does.
