Menendez On Putin Op Ed: 'I Wanted To Vomit'

CNN: The night before a high stakes diplomatic meeting in Geneva, where Secretary of State John Kerry and his Russian counterpart will talk over a plan for stripping Syria of chemical weapons, The New York Times published an op-ed by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
,br>In it, Putin says that there is “every reason to believe” it was the rebels, not regime forces, who used poison gas.
,br>In his final paragraph, he referenced President Barack Obama’s speech on Syria Tuesday night.
,br>
,br>Democratic Senator Robert Menendez, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, said he first heard of and read Putin’s op-ed while he was at dinner. He had a visceral reaction.
,br>
,br>Menendez would not go so far as to say Kerry, en route to Russia to discuss the diplomatic solution, is on a fool’s errand.
