US Senate Congress - unsurprisingly - approves war/persecution/genocide/murder of the Syrian people! Putin, however, had harsh words Wednesday for the United States,warning Washington in an Associated Press interview against launching a military strike against Syria, Russia’s only ally in the Middle East.He also said Congress has no right to authorize the use of force against Syria without a U.N. Security Council resolution and that doing so would be an “act of aggression,” Reuters news agency reported.Putin accused Secretary of State John F. Kerry of “lying” to Congress about the role of al-Qaeda in the Syrian civil war. In a Kremlin meeting of his human rights council, he said of administration officials at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing Tuesday: “They lie beautifully, of course. ... A congressman asks Mr Kerry: ‘Is al-Qaeda there?’ He says: ‘No, I am telling you responsibly that it is not.’ ” Putin continued, according to Reuters: “Al-Qaeda units are the main military echelon, and they know this. It was unpleasant and surprising for me. ... We proceed from the assumption that they are decent people. But he is lying and knows he is lying. It’s sad.”
