The deal was announced in Geneva by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, and leaves open the possibility that the UN could authorize sanctions or military action against Syria in the future.
“We have committed to a standard that says, verify and verify,” Kerry said during a news conference with his Russian counterpart.
The deal includes a deadline for Syria to act, as well as specific actions they must comply with in order for it to remain valid. Kerry added that any violations will result in strict “measures” from the Security Council.

Lavrov called the agreement a “decision based on consensus and compromise and professionalism.”
“Any violations of procedures … would be looked at by the Security Council and if they are approved, the Security Council would take the required measures, concrete measures,” Lavrov said. “Nothing is said about the use of force or about any automatic sanctions. All violations should be approved by the Security Council.”
Although the deal will prevent any U.S. military strikes or acts of war against the middle eastern nation, it will also allow Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad to remain in power, which was not necessarily ideal to the Obama administration or certain members of congress.

The last minute deal comes on the heels of a scathing article in the New York Times from Russian President Vladimir Putin, who ripped President Obama the U.S. for plans to bomb Syria. GOP Sen. John McCain is currently planning a rebuttal article aimed at Putin.
Talk about looking like a bunch of hysterical fools….smh.
As I shared last week, lots of people (haters, news babblers, bloggers and neoCons) Americans having their own highly suspect agendas were running around yelling "THE SKY IS FALLING" and predicting (yet again) the certain downfall of our President regarding this critical issue.
That bunch really needs to go somewhere, Sit.Down. and SHUT.UP.
