John McCain displayed a photo of the body of a 3-year-old Syrian refugee on the Senate floor Wednesday as he urged stronger leadership from President Barack Obama on Syria.<br /><br />McCain, a Republican, stood next to an enlarged, close-up photo of Aylan Kurdi, who drowned along with his 5-year-old brother and mother when their small rubber boat capsized as it headed for Greece. McCain said the photo has "opened the world's eye to this devastating crisis."<br /><br />McCain said it should haunt Americans that "the United States will continue to do nothing meaningful" about conflicts like that in Syria that have led to a surge in refugees.<br /><br />Secretary of State John Kerry said Wednesday after meetings on Capitol Hill that the U.S. will take in more refugees.Deuce ☂https://www.blogger.com/profile/13472858446242700869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-15358086257294688062015-09-09T22:00:08.381-04:002015-09-09T22:00:08.381-04:00MORE ON THE NEOCON

In that chapter is a cable from US Ambassador William Roebuck, who was stationed in Damascus, which apparently discusses a plan for the overthrow of the Assad government in Syria.</b><br /><br /><br />“...That plan was to use a number of different factors to create paranoia within the Syrian government; to push it to overreact, to make it fear there's a coup...so in theory it says 'We have a problem with Islamic extremists crossing over the border with Iraq, and we're taking actions against them to take this information and make the Syrian government look weak, the fact that it is dealing with Islamic extremists at all.'”<br /><br /><br /><i><b>He added that the most serious part of the plan was to “foster tensions between Shiites and Sunnis. In particular, to take rumors that are known to be false...or exaggerations and promote them – that Iran is trying to convert poor Sunnis, and to work with Saudi and Egypt to foster that perception in order to make it harder for Iran to have influence, and also harder for the government to have influence in the population.”</b></i><br /><br />Deuce ☂https://www.blogger.com/profile/13472858446242700869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-15735232150170961052015-09-09T21:58:34.165-04:002015-09-09T21:58:34.165-04:00.

Obama has secured enough votes from his fellow Democrats to sustain a veto of the measure, even if the Republican-led Congress approves it.<br /><br />The rebel Republicans, led by Representative Peter Roskam, said the Obama administration had not provided all the information about the deal required under the Iran Nuclear Review Act. They said it includes "secret side deals" about inspections of Iran's nuclear facilities that have not been fully revealed.<br /><br />The White House dismissed that suggestion.<br /><br />"If Congress does not vote, this agreement goes into effect. It's as simple as that," White House spokesman Eric Schultz said.<br /><br />The dispute arose after announcements on Tuesday that deal supporters had mustered 42 votes in the Senate, more than enough to block a disapproval resolution before it could be passed, if all of the votes hold.<br /><br />http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/Republican-dispute-delays-US-Cong-vote-on-Iran-nuclear-deal/articleshow/48893246.cmsDeuce ☂https://www.blogger.com/profile/13472858446242700869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-85810430486137506242015-09-09T21:52:16.346-04:002015-09-09T21:52:16.346-04:00NBC- Two Russian military ships believed to be car...NBC- Two Russian military ships believed to be carrying equipment and supplies are headed to Syria, defense officials told NBC News on Wednesday.<br /><br />The Russians' intentions remain unclear, officials said.

That deficit was $61 billion smaller than the one recorded during the same period last year. Revenues and outlays were both higher than last year’s amounts, by 8 percent and 5 percent, respectively. Adjusted for shifts in the timing of certain payments (which otherwise would have fallen on a weekend), the deficit for the 11-month period decreased by $42 billion.<br /><br />In its most recent budget projections, CBO estimated that the deficit for fiscal year 2015 (which will end on September 30, 2015) would total $426 billion, about $59 billion less than the shortfall in fiscal year 2014. ...<br />The Treasury will run a surplus in September, and it appears the deficit for fiscal 2015 (ends in September) will be below 2.4% of GDP.<br /><br />Read more at http://www.calculatedriskblog.com/2015/09/cbo-fiscal-2015-federal-deficit-through.html#4gWVvTOBRDJThEwO.99<br /><br /><a href="http://www.calculatedriskblog.com/2015/09/cbo-fiscal-2015-federal-deficit-through.html" rel="nofollow">Calculated Risk Blog</a>galopn2https://www.blogger.com/profile/10149969176825932175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-54774163214218632102015-09-09T21:23:35.928-04:002015-09-09T21:23:35.928-04:00.
