Dem senator: Have no fear, this is all part of Obama's plan

Via The Corner, Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut wishes to reassure all the doubters out there that the diplomatic flip-flopping over the last few days has all been part of a "creative" plan crafted by the Obama administration.

“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,” Murphy told CNN Tuesday. “There’s some pretty smart guys in this administration who I know have been thinking long and hard about every possible way around war.”

Well I'm reassured -- how about you?
