Yesterday, 9/12, Charles Krauthammer wrote an excellent opinion piece in the Washington Post, "The fruits of epic incompetence". You can see it here. Putin appears to have carried the day with his Syrian gambit, on the heels of Kerry's face plant that gave Putin a perfect opportunity to move to ask Syria to turn over their WMD stockpile to UN control. Syria jumped on it, but on the absurd condition that the US forswear any military action against them now, or ever. Nothing like that has ever been seen before.
