"Obama has directed the Pentagon to develop an expanded list of potential targets in Syria to strike. Obama, officials said, is now determined to put more emphasis on the “degrade” part of what the administration has said is the goal of a military strike — to “deter and degrade” Assad’s ability to use chemical weapons. That means expanding beyond the 50 or so major sites that were part of the original target list developed with French forces before Obama delayed action to seek congressional approval of his plan. For the first time, the administration is talking about using American and French aircraft to conduct strikes on specific targets, in addition to ship-launched Tomahawk cruise missiles. There is a renewed push to get other NATO forces involved."
Yes, American people, Obomber LIED TO YOU when he said it was going to be LIMITED!
Obomber is a LIAR!
But he sure does have a nice smile, huh? Every time a camera is near the mask goes on.
And have you NOTICED what has been MISSING from the Zionist AmeriKan media coverage lately? There have been no reports of on-the-ground combat or violence from the "civil war" in Syria (do a scroll, I dare you; I double dare you)!
That is why the talk of airstrikes and cruise missiles. The U.S.-SUPPORTED INSURGENTS have BEEN DEFEATED! They have fled back into Iraq, which is why violence is spiking in that country.
So what is the WAR CRIMINAL Obomber up to today?
"Obama arrives at summit amid tension; Holds meetings with leaders to discuss Syria" by Peter Baker | New York Times, September 06, 2013
ST. PETERSBURG — President Obama arrived in this czarist-era capital on Thursday for an international summit officially focused on economics but unofficially absorbed by America’s growing estrangement with Russia and looming confrontation with Syria.
After a one-day stop in Sweden, Obama joined other leaders of the Group of 20 nations at a time when he is preparing to launch a military strike against the Syrian government without much overt international support. Obama recognized that he would not find consensus here in St. Petersburg but hoped at least to bolster allies who do favor action.
His biggest challenge will be the host of the meeting, President Vladimir Putin, who has used increasingly tough language in recent days. Putin said in an interview with the Associated Press and Russian state television that it was “completely ridiculous” to conclude that Syrian forces were responsible for a chemical weapons attack Aug. 21, and he said Secretary of State John Kerry “is lying and knows he is lying” about Al Qaeda’s presence in Syria.
The whole world knows John (Kohn) Kerry is a LIAR!

You know, the ones he claims are not there!

John (Kohn) Kerry IS A LIAR!
The two presidents ignored the tension in their first encounter of the day. When Obama’s armored limousine pulled up to Constantine Palace Thursday afternoon, he emerged and strode over to a waiting Putin, who was greeting all of the visiting leaders one by one. The two shook hands and had businesslike smiles for each other, then turned to the news media cameras and smiled more broadly. But neither grabbed the other’s elbow or patted a back as they often do with other leaders.
Others besides the Russians in St. Petersburg are skeptical about Obama’s Syria intentions. China’s leadership backs Russia in resisting action by the UN Security Council and warned Thursday that military intervention would drive up oil prices and slow economic growth.
Oil prices are already up 24 percent since April, and you can blame the Fed printing press.
“Military action would definitely have a negative impact on the global economy, especially on the oil price,” said Zhu Guangyao, the Chinese vice finance minister.
Beyond France, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia, Obama may find few here who will vocally back a limited military strike against the government of President Bashar Assad.
There are plenty of people vocally opposing it though. Can't Obomber hear them?
White House officials said other countries are supportive without being as public about it or at least would agree that Assad needs to be held accountable in some fashion. But Obama had no plans to seek a formal endorsement from the leaders.
“We would not anticipate every member of the G-20 agreeing about the way forward in Syria, particularly given the Russian position,” Benjamin J. Rhodes, the president’s deputy national security adviser, told reporters on Air Force One. Obama will “explain our current thinking” and explore what “political and diplomatic support they may express for our efforts to hold the Syrian regime accountable.”
Who is Ben Rhodes anyway?
The tension over Syria has exacerbated an already fractious moment between the United States and Russia. After Moscow last month granted temporary asylum to Edward J. Snowden, the National Security Agency contractor who disclosed secret surveillance programs, Obama canceled plans to stop in Moscow first for a meeting with Putin before the summit and opted against even a standard courtesy call on his host in St. Petersburg.
I'll deal with Snowden below.
The two will inevitably see each other and even talk on the sidelines of the official meetings here while everyone watches their body language.
Let's read some tea leaves and turn over some Tarot cards, too! What a $HIT MEDIA!
The Russian newspaper Izvestiya reported that the Russian government had changed the seating chart in a way that would move the two leaders farther apart, with five leaders between them instead of just one. But by the time they sat down, the seating chart seemed to have been scrambled again, with the US and Russian presidents separated by just two other leaders.
I must admit I smiled at that. If Obomber were to come to my town I wouldn't go see him. I want that fucker to stay as far away from me as possible. Russia can keep him as far as I am concerned.
The government did not roll out major figures to greet Obama upon his arrival at the St. Petersburg airport. Upon landing Thursday, Obama was welcomed for his second visit as president to Russia by the Foreign Ministry’s protocol officer, the deputy regional administrator, and the vice governor of St. Petersburg.
(Blog editor smiles again at the obvious dis)

"UN ambassador decries Russia; Power alleges Putin holding council hostage" by Rick Gladstone | New York Times, September 06, 2013
NEW YORK — Samantha Power, the new US ambassador to the United Nations, strongly criticized Russia on Thursday in her first extensive public remarks about Syria, accusing the Kremlin of holding the Security Council hostage by blocking even modest efforts to condemn the use of chemical weapons in the Syrian conflict.

Power said Russia’s actions signaled there was “no viable path forward in the Security Council.” Appearing before the UN press corps outside the Security Council, Power said the United States had been briefing other member states on its intelligence assessment about an attack in the Damascus suburbs Aug. 21. The assessment concluded that banned chemical munitions had been used and that the forces of President Bashar Assad were responsible.
Sorry, but no one believes U.S. intelligence assessments anymore, especially when all the crap comes from Israel, and when it has been shown that it was the U.S.-SUPPLIED AL-CIA-Duh INSURGENTS that USED CHEMICAL WEAPONS that were supplied by the Saudis!
The Obama administration says more than 1,400 civilians were killed in the strike, including more than 400 children.

Can you blame me?
Assad and President Vladimir Putin of Russia have ridiculed the US claims, asserting that it would be nonsensical for the Syrian government to use such weapons on its own citizens. The Syrian government has said that opposition forces seeking to topple him were responsible for the attack.
But my $hit media won't investigate that.
Putin has repeatedly warned that President Obama’s threat to carry out a missile attack on Syria to deter further use of chemical weapons would be a violation of the UN Charter, which says only the Security Council can authorize such action. As a permanent member of the council, Russia has said it would veto such a move.
Meanwhile, Obama has directed the Pentagon to develop an expanded list of potential targets in Syria to strike.
Obama, officials said, is now determined to put more emphasis on the “degrade” part of what the administration has said is the goal of a military strike — to “deter and degrade” Assad’s ability to use chemical weapons. That means expanding beyond the 50 or so major sites that were part of the original target list developed with French forces before Obama delayed action to seek congressional approval of his plan.
For the first time, the administration is talking about using American and French aircraft to conduct strikes on specific targets, in addition to ship-launched Tomahawk cruise missiles.
There is a renewed push to get other NATO forces involved.
The strikes would be aimed not at the chemical stockpiles themselves — risking a potential catastrophe — but rather the military units that have stored and prepared the chemical weapons and carried out the attacks against Syrian rebels, as well as the headquarters overseeing the effort, and the rockets and artillery that have launched the attacks, military officials said Thursday.
The alleged chemical weapons are COVER for REGIME CHANGE because the U.S.-supported insurgents have lost!
Power, a longtime aide to Obama who began her tenure as the US ambassador last month as the latest crisis in the Syrian conflict was escalating, said the US intelligence findings “overwhelmingly point to one stark conclusion: The Assad regime perpetrated an attack.”
It's called LIES, lady!
Power also castigated what she called the failure of the UN structure to deal with the Syrian conflict, which is now well into its third year. She said “the system devised in 1945 precisely to deal with events of this nature did not work.”
I'm sure that will win her a bunch of friends down there.
Related: German magazine says NSA spied on United Nations
Let's see Power EXPLAIN THAT!
What do you mean the LINK is BROKEN, Globe?
Power had particularly strong criticism for Russia, which she accused of using its veto power on the Security Council to protect “the prerogatives of Russia” despite international outrage.
Of course, it is OKAY when the U.S. does it for ISRAEL! That's because the U.S. is NOT DOING IT for its prerogatives, it is doing it for Israel!
I truly CAN NOT WAIT until SHE HAS TO STAND UP and cast a VETO!
She said “Russia continues to hold the council hostage,” and “what we have learned is that the Security Council the world needs to deal with this crisis is not the Security Council we have.”
Asked about Putin’s comments on what he has called the unconvincing case the United States has made regarding the Assad government’s culpability, Power was dismissive.
Great. Our TOP DIPLOMAT is a DISRESPECTFUL bitch!
“We have seen nothing in Putin’s comments that would suggest there is a path forward in the Security Council,” she said.
Meanwhile, United Kingdom scientists have found new evidence that poison gas was used last month outside Damascus, British Prime Minister David Cameron said Thursday.
Oh, really? WHERE DID THEY GET IT?
In an interview with BBC television on Thursday, Cameron said that the evidence being examined by specialists at England’s Porton Down Laboratory ‘‘further shows the use of chemical weapons in that Damascus suburb.’’
The BBC’s account of the interview did not make clear whether the British tests had determined who was responsible for the chemical strike — a critical question facing world leaders, who are holding an economic summit in St. Petersburg, Russia.
Is it NOT INTERESTING that the WAR-PROMOTING PAPER would save the WHO DID IT for the afterthought paragraph that closes the article!

What a vagina. What a real vagina.

While on the topic of missing things, I haven't read any other articles from any other sections of the Globe today, and doubt I will. I'm no longer interested in so many of those items. The only other one I read was something I knew about weeks ago.
The fact that Snowden is now working with the CIA's favorite newspaper totally blows that controlled operation of leaks out of the water. The people who have noted that Israel is somehow never harmed or outed by these alleged whistleblowers tells you a lot, as does what you are getting out of them.
Even the "good guys" are ADVANCING the WAR AGENDA!
Of course, there is always Wikileaks, right?

"NSA succeeds in thwarting much Internet encryption; Agency able to undercut privacy, documents say" by NICOLE PERLROTH, JEFF LARSON and SCOTT SHANE | New York Times, September 06, 2013
NEW YORK — The National Security Agency is winning its long-running secret war on encryption, using supercomputers, technical trickery, court orders, and behind-the-scenes persuasion to undermine the major tools protecting the privacy of everyday communications in the Internet age, according to newly disclosed documents.
I never assumed my privacy was being protected, and I'm right out here anyway. They obviously know how I feel, and so does the whole world.
The agency has circumvented or cracked much of the encryption, or digital scrambling, that guards global commerce and banking systems, protects sensitive data such as trade secrets and medical records, and automatically secures the e-mails, Web searches, Internet chats, and phone calls of Americans and others around the world, the documents show.
Then the GOVERNMENT can NOT NOT KNOW about ALL the BANK FRAUD, and they are GUILTY of STEALING TRADE SECRETS!
Many users assume — or have been assured by Internet companies — that their data are safe from prying eyes, including those of the government, and the NSA wants to keep it that way.
Oh, the telecoms LIED TO YOU, world citizens?
The agency treats its recent successes in deciphering protected information as among its most closely guarded secrets, restricted to those cleared for a highly classified program code-named Bullrun, according to the documents, provided by Edward J. Snowden, the former NSA contractor.
It's Bull something!
Beginning in 2000, as encryption tools were gradually blanketing the Web, the NSA invested billions of dollars in a clandestine campaign to preserve its ability to eavesdrop. Having lost a public battle in the 1990s to insert its own “back door” in all encryption, it set out to accomplish the same goal by stealth.
But they are only interested in PROTECTING YOU!
The agency, according to the documents and interviews with industry officials, deployed custom-built, superfast computers to break codes, and began collaborating with technology companies in the United States and abroad to build entry points into their products. The documents do not identify which companies have participated.
Then all are guilty.
The NSA hacked into target computers to snare messages before they were encrypted.
Related: Sunday Globe Special: Hacking is Good Bu$ine$$
Can't blame China or Russia anymore!
And the agency used its influence as the world’s most experienced code maker to covertly introduce weaknesses into the encryption standards followed by hardware and software developers around the world.
“For the past decade, NSA has led an aggressive, multipronged effort to break widely used Internet encryption technologies,” said a 2010 memo describing a briefing about NSA accomplishments for employees of its British counterpart, Government Communications Headquarters, or GCHQ. “Cryptanalytic capabilities are now coming online. Vast amounts of encrypted Internet data which have up till now been discarded are now exploitable.”
Related: Sunday Globe Special: England's Newest Nazi
That's really unfair to the Nazis since this is so far beyond what they did.
An intelligence budget document makes clear that the effort is still going strong.
Related: Leaked document outlines US spending on spying
Yes, even in this TIME of AU$TERITY and $EQUESTRATION for you, American taxpayers, the TOTALITARIAN $URVEILLANCE $TATE is getting its funding!
“We are investing in groundbreaking cryptanalytic capabilities to defeat adversarial cryptography and exploit Internet traffic,” the director of national intelligence, James R. Clapper Jr., wrote in his budget request for the current year.
The NSA’s success in defeating many of the privacy protections offered by encryption does not change the rules that prohibit the deliberate targeting of Americans’ e-mails or phone calls without a warrant.
No, it OBLITERATES them!
But it shows that the agency, which was rebuked by a federal judge in 2011 for violating the rules and misleading the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, cannot necessarily be restrained by privacy technology. NSA rules permit the agency to store any encrypted communication, domestic or foreign, for as long as the agency is trying to decrypt it or analyze its technical features.
Meaning FOREVER! That is why the unmentioned Utah collection warehouse is needed.
The NSA, which has specialized in code-breaking since its creation in 1952, sees that task as essential to its mission. If it cannot decipher the messages of foreign adversaries, the United States will be at serious risk, agency officials say.
That is NOT WHAT THIS is ALL ABOUT!
Some experts say the NSA’s campaign to bypass and weaken communications security may have serious unintended consequences.
What, more false flag hacking attacks that advance the agenda?
They say the agency is working at cross-purposes with its other major mission, apart from eavesdropping: ensuring the security of US communications.
Actually, when you really think about it, the purpo$e may not be all that cro$$, if you know what I mean.
Some of the agency’s most intensive efforts have focused on the encryption in universal use in the United States, including the protection used on smartphones.
Yeah, except that is a VIOLATION of the LAW since the NSA is only supposed to be monitoring FOREIGN communications!
Many Americans, often without realizing it, rely on such protection every time they send an e-mail or buy something online.
Then it is NO PROTECTION at all, is it? And what companies made money des$igning the $tuff?
For at least three years, one document says, Britain’s GCHQ, almost certainly in close collaboration with the NSA, has been looking for ways into protected traffic of the most popular Internet companies: Google, Yahoo, Facebook, and Microsoft’s Hotmail. By 2012, GCHQ had developed “new access opportunities” into Google’s systems, according to the document.
“The risk is that when you build a back door into systems, you’re not the only one to exploit it,” said Matthew D. Green, a cryptography researcher at Johns Hopkins University. “Those back doors could work against US communications, too.”
I'll bet I can guess who (rhymes with) the likely ones are to expLoit it.

I'm not saying the article and its information are not useful; you just have to recognize the prison, 'er, prism of the outlet that gives you the information.
You don't need any encryption-busting computers for this, NSA a**hole.
I really don't know where this blog is going, folks. I will be taking time off today to begin the finishing phase of the Great Boston Globe Throwaway, which is only about half finished. I'm no longer interested in seeing to bankerspeak along with the daily drumbeat of lies, distortions, obfuscations, omissions, Jewish supremacism and elite insults.
UPDATE:
"Obama to make case for Syria strike in Tuesday speech" by Josh Lederman | Associated Press, September 06, 2013
ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (AP) — President Barack Obama said Friday he’s encouraged by talks with foreign leaders over how to respond to chemical weapons use in Syria and plans to make his case to the American people in an address Tuesday night.
F*** you, you god-damn a**hole!
Obama told reporters at the end of a two-day Group of 20 economic summit that he and other leaders had had a ‘‘full airing of views on the issue’’ and there was a growing recognition that ‘‘the world cannot stand idly by.’’
Related: Putin Puts Obama in Hot Seat: ‘What Will You Do If Rebels Are Ones Using Chemical Weapons?’
As well as eating human body parts?
He said many foreign nations will be issuing statements on their positions, but he didn’t say whether any specifically had joined France in supporting his move toward US military strikes.
He said the leaders are unanimous in believing that chemical weapons were used in Syria and that international norms against that use must be maintained. He said division comes over how to proceed through the United Nations.
Obama also held a surprise meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, a chief opponent of US military action. Putin, a staunch ally of Syrian President Bashar Assad, said this discussion with Obama focused on Syria during the 20 to 30 minutes and that, while they disagreed, the meeting was ‘‘substantial and constructive.’’
The meeting came Friday as Obama sought to build international backing for military action. But three days after he left Washington, it’s unclear whether the global coalition the president has been seeking is any closer to becoming a reality.
Putting up stiff resistance to Obama’s appeals, Russia on Friday warned the United States and its allies against striking any chemical weapon storage facilities in Syria. The Russian foreign ministry said such targeting could release toxic chemicals and give militants or terrorist access to chemical weapons.
‘‘This is a step toward proliferation of chemical weapons not only across the Syrian territory but beyond its borders,’’ the Russian statement said.
Moreover, China remained a firm no. The European Union is skeptical about whether any military action can be effective. Even Pope Francis weighed in, urging leaders gathered here to abandon what he called a ‘‘futile mission.’’
Still, Obama was undeterred.
What we have here is possibly one of the WORST LEADERS to ever "grace" this planet!
Obomber is GOING TO WAR and TO HELL with ANYONE WHO TRIES to STOP HIM!
Well, GOD DAMN YOU, sir!
May GOD DAMN YOU, and may you ROAST IN HELL, you f***!
He and French President Francois Hollande, the US’s strongest ally on Syria and a vocal advocate for a military intervention, met on the sidelines of the summit about attracting European support for action. ‘‘It’s clear that there are many countries that agree with us that international norms must be upheld,’’ Obama said.
This guy is PSYCHOPATHICALLY DELUSIONAL!
Holland told reporters invited into their meeting that they came to summit ‘‘wanting as large a coalition as possible,’’ but without saying whether they picked up more support for military intervention.
‘‘To do nothing would mean impunity,’’ Hollande said. ‘‘We must take our responsibility’’ and act.
When are you guys going to do SOMETHING about ISRAEL'S USE of the same weapons?
I suppose the French will hate him even more.
As the president pressed his case on the world stage, he was dispatching his U.N. ambassador, Samantha Power, to a Washington think tank to argue that the global community cannot afford the precedent of letting chemical weapons use go unpunished.
Which one?
Illustrating the risks associated with a strike, however, the State Department on Friday ordered nonessential US diplomats to leave Lebanon, a step under consideration since Obama said he was contemplating military action against the Syrian regime last week. The travel warning said it had instructed nonessential staffers to leave Beirut and urged private American citizens to depart Lebanon.
Meaning the strike is coming SOONER rather than LATER!
So WHAT FALSE FLAG is in the WORKS?
Yet even as Obama sought the global buy-in that could legitimize a potential strike, his aides were careful to temper expectations that the world community could speak with one voice.
Nothing can legitimize your war crimes based on lies, asshole.
Obama’s deputy national security adviser, Ben Rhodes, said the president wasn’t asking his peers to pledge their own militaries to a US-led strike, but simply to say they agree a military response is warranted.
‘‘We don’t expect every country here to agree with that position,’’ Rhodes said Friday at the Group of 20 economic summit, where Obama was huddling with foreign leaders.
No one agrees!
Related: Obomber All Alone on Syria
Standing on Russian soil, Rhodes suggested the US had given up hope that Russia — a stalwart Syria ally — could be coerced into changing its position. ‘‘We don’t expect to have Russian cooperation,’’ he said.
Why would anyone need to be coerced when this is the moral thing to do, blah, blah, blah, blah?!
Besides, I WAS TAUGHT and TOLD that AmeriKa DOES NOT DO THINGS LIKE THAT! We only do things that are altruistic!
A key status update was to come Friday when Obama, his diplomatic dexterity pushed to the max, will be quizzed by reporters in the waning hours of the summit.
Pffft!
A jobs-and-growth agenda awaiting world leaders gathering at the ornate Constantine Palace quickly gave way to intense posturing over Syria — at least on the surface. The leaders served up Syria as dinner conversation Thursday at the suggestion of the summit’s host, President Vladimir Putin.
I'm not sure I believe that, especially considering the jewspaper source.
The Russian leader has steadfastly backed Syrian President Bashar Assad and disputes claims that Assad’s regime was behind chemical attacks that the US says killed more than 1,400 Syrians. Other estimates are lower.
But let's not look to closely at U.S. lying.
Syria dominated the nearly three-hour meal, with leaders condemning the use of chemical weapons but reaching no consensus about the proper response, said a French official in St. Petersburg. Many leaders at the dinner remained in doubt about whether Assad’s regime was behind the attack, said the official, who was not authorized to be publicly named according to presidential policy.
Meaning the WORLD KNOWS Obomber is a F***ING LIAR!!
So too was the Syrian crisis a prevailing theme in Obama’s individual meetings with world leaders on the sidelines of the summit in this Russian port city.
What a surprise.
The White House said Obama conferred on Syria Thursday evening with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, a strong supporter of airstrikes against the nation on its southern border.
Then let that Israeli tool do it.
Syria also came up on Friday as Obama met with Chinese President Xi Jinping, whose government has warned vigorously against the use of force.
Before his scheduled return to Washington late Friday, Obama also planned to meet with Russian lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender activists, calling attention to another area of disagreement with Moscow.
Who care about them right now?
I'll tell you this: I'll bet there are GAY SYRIANS that Obomber is going to MURDER with his missile and air strikes!
A fleeting interaction between Obama and Putin became the high-drama moment of the summit, underscoring the labored state of relations between the two leaders. The eyes of the world watching, the Russian and the American were all smiles Thursday as they made small talk in front of news cameras for a few seconds as Obama arrived at the summit.
Who cares?
But the welcoming handshake may have been where the pleasantries ended. In other venues, the two nations were repeatedly bumping heads.
Russia’s foreign ministry, in a statement Friday, said a US-led strike would mark ‘‘a new dangerous turn’’ in the crisis, risking the release of chemical weapons or their possession by terrorists. And the head of the foreign affairs panel in Russia’s lower house of parliament, Alexei Pushkov, blasted Obama on Twitter as having ‘‘completely transformed into a president of war.’’
Yeah, he better RETURN that PEACE PRIZE!
And he better NEVER DARE CITE Dr. King again!
Meanwhile, the Kremlin said Russia was boosting its naval presence in the Mediterranean Sea, moving in warships into the area and stoking fears about a larger international conflict if the United States orders airstrikes.
Yeah, right, it is the RUSSIANS who are STOKING FEARS! What a $HIT MEDIA!
Even at home, there was far from a consensus that an American strike on Syria was the best course of action.
After all this war-drumming propaganda I've been fed?
Awaiting Obama upon his return was an equally fractious debate in Congress over whether to authorize the limited military action he was proposing.
Pulling out all the stops, Obama was working the phones from Europe and appealing for support from leery lawmakers, Democratic and Republican alike. And he called off a planned trip to California next week, opting to stay in Washington to keep up the pressure on Congress to say yes.
Has he EVER WORKED SO HARD on an ISSUE?
Too bad he didn't put all that effort into the economy or health care, huh?
Related: Report: AIPAC to mount major lobbying blitz for Obama's Syria strike plan
Ah, the 800-Pound Gorilla in the room, -- as if they were not already there.
As top national security officials continued to brief Congress on the accusation against Assad and the proposed response, a measure authorizing Obama to act was advancing tenuously through the Senate, winning approval from a foreign relations panel Wednesday and heading to the Senate floor. The measure’s prospects were dicier in the Republican-controlled House.
And that is ALL IT IS: a LYING Obomber ACCUSATION!
In an unusual turn of events, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker John Boehner both said that a delegation of Russian lawmakers had sought to meet with them to discuss Syria. Both leaders, who are supporting Obama’s call for a strike, turned down that invitation, aides said.
Expect the SAME DISRESPECTFUL TREATMENT the next time a U.S. delegation goes over there.
WHAT ASSHOLES!!!
‘‘I don’t know that the Russians have anything to add to the debate in the United States, given that we know where Russia stands,’’ said Rhodes, the Obama aide.
Translation: the Russians don't have anything to add because they are the ones telling the truth!
