I'm not seeing much outrage.
As for outsmarting, just because they're getting the Admin to react doesn't mean they're winning.
Obama has some breathing room which he needed. Syria has fessed up about even owning chem weapons and already agreed in principal to give them up.
If Russia tries to play this as they'll only support a UN Mandate if there's no condition for force I think this will only galvanize International support. The genie is out of the bottle, you can't stuff it back in...
