Secretary of State John F. Kerry and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel are scheduled to testify Tuesday before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senate aides said Monday.

The appearance by Kerry and Hagel will be one of the most public parts of an intense lobbying effort underway by the Obama administration to garner congressional support for a resolution authorizing U.S. military intervention in Syria. The lobbying campaign includes in-person briefings for lawmakers, phone calls and meetings at the White House.

Wow, they sure didn’t waste time sticking little Timmy the Eyebrow on a plum committee, did they? I’ll call his office and tell him I am opposed to any military shenanigans in Syria.

Fat lot of good it’ll do me. </ spit>

Russia was at a UN meeting in the early 1950s to decide about going into Korea...

after lunch the Russians who disagreed didnt come back to the meeting...

that afternoon the Korean War was voted on by the rest of the countries...

the war hawks won...

For nearly 100 years the Russians as Communists have had this one attribute...

they cant be trusted...
