I don't doubt it was a dangerous journey to meet with Rebel leaders, but, I thought they were in Turkey.

The leaders former Secretary Clinton has been meeting with were in Turkey, not Syria.

This was somewhat to be expected. A Neocon on the hunt for a war.

Secretary Kerry has been meeting intensely with all sides of this civil war and has been making in roads with major powers. I hope this doesn't do anything to stop the process already started.

Perhaps Senator McCain has also met with those seeking to bring humanitarian aid to citizens of Syria. I would be interested in knowing how well that is going and how it can be improved.

Neocons would not be Neocons if they didn't feel they were in charge of a burgeoning threat to the USA. They won't leave it alone. Where was McCain when Rwanda occurred? McCain has been in office since 1987 and the Rwanda Genocide occurred in 1994. Where was he then?
