My take on the whole situation. It was a mess and Obama made it worse by playing with Putin. While the back patting in Washington punditry is in full swing how the US threats have worked the reality is Obama is making things worse.
He called a vote and a debate for the Congress and now called it off. So on top of the whole mess now there are hurt feelings and egos. What comes now are talks. Which take time and can you know - fail. So in 3 months when Bashar tells Yuck Fou with the silent support of China and Russia, Obama will stand all alone, the chemical attack faded from the memory, the president not dared to respond to the red line and with no friends whatsoever.
If going to Congress was a gambit this is Russian roulette. With semi-automatic pistol.
