Kerry is meeting with Kissinger today for advice on Syria

Secretary of State John Kerry will spend much of Wednesday meeting with senior members of the U.S. foreign policy establishment, as he attempts to press the case for U.S. engagement in Syria.

Kerry is scheduled to meet one-on-one with former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger Wednesday afternoon, and address a meeting of the 25-member Foreign Affairs Policy Board Wednesday morning. On Wednesday evening, Kerry will host a dinner for FAPB members at the State Department, according to an official schedule.

Widely considered a godfather of U.S.-Russia relations, Kissinger served as Secretary of State under President Richard Nixon and President Gerald Ford. As the nation's top diplomat, he pioneered the idea of developing a détente, or cooperation based on shared interests, between the leaders of the world's two nuclear superpowers.

As the Obama administration seeks to work with Russia to craft a plan to rid Syria of chemical weapons, Kissinger could prove invaluable as both an adviser and a public ally.

While in Brazil, Kerry praised Kissinger

and the went to talk about the Saudi Foreign minister in a prepared talk.

I thought now... why isn't he talking about great Brazilians or South americans to his US Brazilian embassy staff? Kissinger is hated in Brazil and South America by almost all Governments and people. His remarks made me cringe.

Then at the Turkish conference in Washington DC he called out Richard Armitage who was in the audience, for his honesty. The one that outed Valerie Plame



Don't believe me?
