The Syrian government has apparently accepted a Russian plan to turn over its chemical weapons to the United Nations, after which the UN would store and destroy them, the acceptance coming after the United States threatened to use military force against the Bashar Assad regime because of its alleged use of chemical weapons against the rebels fighting against it. US President Barack Hussein Obama is trumpeting the acceptance as a victory for American diplomacy and bellicosity and is taking as much credit for it as he possibly can.
