With respect to the "Russian plan", it sounds a bit too good to be true.
According to the "plan", Syria will give up their WMDs to the international community or UN. Who will supervise the transfer or inspections? what happens to Assad?
What about the Russian demand that the US must call off military action?
The speech did give a Congress an excuse (or "diplomatic pause") to delay a vote on military action. By the way, all indications were that President Obama would lose big in the House and win a very slim victory in the Senate.
Where are we after this speech? About the same as before the speech, except that Congress won't have to vote.
