John Kerry

This makes it seem like there is a huge desire to avoid war over this. I wonder if the change could be that Russia was given a heads up of what will be in the UN report will say. (Howard Dean on Larry O'Donnell pointed out that some of the foreign jihadis are from Dagestan in Russia. If things become unstable, those chemical weapons will affect Russia as well.

This would be a fantastic way that does make the point on chemical weapons internationally and it does prevent a disaster in Congress. I really hope that this can be firmed up quickly and well.

I saw the excerpt of the interview and Kerry looked exhausted - which should be expected given the last 6 months. It is amazing that he is able to do all he is doing.
