Vladimir Putin: No U.S. strikes for Syria deal - Tal Kopan
Russian President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday that for the proposed Russian agreement that Syria turn over its chemical weapons to work, the United States must take military action off the table....
McCain, Obama, Kerry = war mongers.
McCain is desperate for another disaster in the mideast.
We’re going to war, this is all bluster IMHO.
Perhaps McCain has everything riding on making the Quatar pipeline happen.
Key senators draft alternative Syria resolution
By Kasie Hunt and Carrie Dann , NBC News
After an apparent diplomatic overture from Russia Monday, a group of U.S. lawmakers are working on an alternative congressional resolution to deal with Syria and its use of chemical weapons.
The proposal, led in part by Republican Sen. John McCain and Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer, could replace the limited authorization of force that a key Senate committee approved last week with a congressional directive to the United Nations, a source familiar with the negotiations said.
The alternative legislation would direct the UN to pass a resolution confirming that chemical weapons were used in Syria. Then UN officials would go in to the civil war-torn country and remove existing chemical weapons caches by a certain time.

If those steps dont take place, the resolution would then authorize the president to use force.

Other lawmakers involved in the Senate’s new negotiations are Republicans Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire and Saxby Chambliss of Georgia as well as Democrats Chris Coons of Delaware, Carl Levin of Michigan and Bob Casey of Pennsylvania.

Almost as good as being president, eh McJuan?
There has to be a way to prevent clowns like John McCain and that super-clown Al Franken from ever holding any sort of a high public office. You could require a secret-level (minimal) security clearance and a score of at least 130 on an IQ test and a valid driver’s license for starters.....
They want a war. The Saudis demand it.
Here is what McCain needs to say:
Russia is the new power broker in the Middle East. Our president gave up that position through his dithering. God keep Isreal safe.

Meet the Syrian Islamist Organization Controlling Senator McCains Agenda

They made deals without our approval and now we’re supposed to uphold our end of their bargain.
At this point I have very little compunction about handing scum like McCain over to their masters.
Note to John McCain - the Middle East is now, for all intents and purposes, a hegemony of the Russian Federation. Syria and Iran are among their fiefdoms, and they hold title to the allegiance of those countries.
I guess an uneasy alliance of Shi’ite and secular Muslims will be the controlling force for the present time. The Saudi royal family ain’t gonna like this much.
Not like anybody ever gets to vote on these things in the Middle East anyway.
Unfortunately they would just become high paid lobbyists.
It would be terrible if we couldn’t sake McCain’s thirst for blood.
Don’t know that we are.
The dems in congress are milque toast.
Middle eastern regimes fine. Russia and China, they are wetting their panties.
Putin won’t be backing down. Any war here not only won’t be over soon - there is zero chance of headfaking their base into thinking it won’t be a meatgrinder and they loose all of the white guilt voters.
Obonghit is checkmated, the arab spring has collapsed in Egypt and will collapse in Libya so backing Obonghit after what is now a string of losses is a losing proposition for Reid whatever his blackmail material.
Perhaps Soros has angered God. Or merely amused him.
Why would anyone of sound mind give Obama permission to declare war in the future?
He never met a war he didn’t love.
