Contrary to what your first impression might be, this is not a Blog Posting that is For or Against our President’s Syrian Chemical Weapons Position.
It is simply my valiant attempt to advise you to read from sources that believe as you believe, so that you will know that you are right.

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia - U.S. President Barack Obama resisted pressure on Friday to abandon plans for air strikes against Syria and enlisted the support of 10 fellow leaders for a "strong" response to a chemical weapons attack.
Obama refused to blink after Russian President Vladimir Putin led a campaign to talk him out of military intervention at a two-day summit of the Group of Twenty developed and developing economies in St. Petersburg.
He persuaded nine other G20 nations plus Spain to join the United States in signing a statement calling for a strong international response, although it fell short of supporting military strikes, underscoring the deep disagreements that dominated the summit.

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia—President Barack Obama fell short in his bid to rally international support for a U.S. military strike on Syria, failing to overcome divisions at a summit of world leaders before flying home to face skeptics in Congress and the American public.
The lobbying blitz calling for a "strong international response" to Syria's alleged use of chemical weapons against rebels showed little sign of changing the minds of world leaders—some of whom took that phrase to mean "military action."
Mr. Obama's push also gained little ground in building a coalition to politically isolate Russian President Vladimir Putin, the summit host and one of the Syrian regime's chief allies and protectors.

As I stated above, you must choose your sources. The best way to reinforce your own beliefs is to read the source that supports your beliefs last. If you get confused and read the one that does not support your own beliefs last then simply go back and read the first one again. This will then become the last one you read and you will know that you are right in holding on to your Deep-Seated and Long-Held Beliefs.

Great -- not just watch what you read, but watch what you read last! Now who/what did I read last?
Does Putin get a bonus for his solution to the problem?
