Hagel never prepared for the Russian meeting with Putin before the G20 because he has been arm wrestling with the military and Right Wingers like Speaker Boner over Sequester cuts.

Now, without a meeting with the President of Russia the USA Congress it going to authorize the War Powers Act against Syria. Powers was absent and Hagel unprepared and the Syrian ally of Russia was disregarded as significant. That is only the beginning.

There is no way a War Powers Vote against Syria is justified. This is about the USA military and crony money and that is all this is about.
