(114,690 posts)with a meeting and dinner of the ENTIRE board. Kerry meeting with 90yo Kissinger at some point in-between is most likely a State Dept. courtesy. You wouldn't know it from the way the corpmedia is playing it, as if Kissinger was CALLED to come to the State Dept to help.
Kerry and Lavrov don't need advice from Kissinger on Syria - they've been on the same page regarding Syria issues since before the chem attack, and have been prepared for their roles in leveraging Syria from both sides.
