Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has turned down a Russian request to meet with him to discuss Syria, his office tells CNN, making it unclear if any U.S. lawmakers will sit down with a planned delegation from Moscow.

This comes less than a day after House Speaker John Boehner similarly turned down a request from the Russian government to meet.

The Russians are desperate to meet with someone that isn’t a moron like Obama.

If that's their goal then Harry Reid and John Boehner are not the ones I would have picked.

I wish Allen West, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Sarah Palin or even Mitt Romney were President--we wouldn't be falling down this poop hole.

What would they have done I wonder?

We’ll have Cruz, Paul and Lee from the senate be the grown ups. And send a few House members like Westmooreland and Rooney.

And do what?

They can have back channel discussions, which is what I think the Ruskies wanted but they should not be meeting in an official manner. The democrats were doing this out in the open when Bush was president and it was wrong.

I'm not sure what they would have to say that we don't already know. And the group you mentioned are already against Obama's war so I don't know what they could accomplish.

For one, they wouldn’t have been making imaginary red lines and then claimed they never did in the first place.

The current occupant is certifiable. (which most likely is the ONLY thing for which he has credentials)
