Diplomatic Solution: Obama

Obama: Obama told NBC News in an interview Monday that he remains skeptical that Syria will follow through and turn over its stockpile, so he's taking a statement from Damascus "with a grain of salt initially." But Obama said he would prefer to have a diplomatic solution to the crisis rather than launch a military attack, and called it "a potentially positive development.", according to CBC. He also acknowledged he may not be able to secure congressional support for a military strike on Syria and U.S. President Barack Obama says a proposal to put Syria's chemical weapons under international control to avoid U.S. military strikes could be a potential breakthrough. Obama made the comments as he gave a series of six television network interviews on the crisis in Syria. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
