The rapid diplomatic developments over the last day or so between the United States, Russia, Syria, and the rest of the international community are all part of a “creative” plan the Obama administration came up with to avoid military strikes in Syria, according to one Democratic senator.
“I believe in serendipity to a point, but I do believe that the president has been talking to the Russians about this for a number of days, at least,” Chris Murphy, a freshman from Connecticut, said on CNN on Tuesday afternoon. “There’s some pretty smart guys in this administration who I know have been thinking long and hard about every possible way around war.”
