It’s hard to remember a week like this in American foreign policy.  A president throwing the brakes on a military strike to ask Congress for support – that doesn’t come.  A Russian diplomatic push becoming an overnight American diplomatic push.  Vladimir Putin lecturing Americans on exceptionalism .  It may all turn out great – Syria disarmed of chemical weapons, no US quagmire.  It may be a mess.  We’ve record US inequality, wild floods and a big gun control recall in Colorado, Twitter going public.  Up next On Point:  Our weekly news roundtable goes behind the headlines.
