As far as I can tell, these were Obama's goals:
1. Eliminate Syria's chemical weapons
2. Avoid another war
You can argue that he appeared weak, or whatever, but at the end of the day both of Obama's goals have been achieved, and as a bonus he dropped the whole mess in Putin's lap.
That's a big win in the real world, but in the FOX/CNN/MSNBC world of soundbites, it is whatever you want it to be.
