Russia "doesn't exclude" the possibility of supporting a UN resolution against Syria

[Waiting For Everyman]

4. I agree.

Both about the UN's importance in a matter like this, and the US government's credibility problem. There is so much money and corruption involved in government now, that we Americans too have to constantly "read between the lines" to figure out what is really going on.

Although I believe the attack happened and I think it's extremely likely that Assad did it, I will be very interested in the UN's objective analysis of what evidence it found.

Apparently Putin is too. Maybe he already knows that it will be too conclusive for him to plausibly stonewall, and is "hedging his bets". It reads as if he wants to create another option for himself, in case ones is needed. Just a guess, we'll see. I thought it was very interesting that he included these little comments in his interview though.
