<..."the United States discussed a British drafted resolution that could allow military action in Syria"...

Pure hypocrisy to accuse Syria of hiding behind Russia and then ObOzo turns right around and hides behind the British resolution!!!!

19:01 GMT: Russia has a right to veto in accordance with the UN Charter, but it is premature to comment on voting on the UK’s draft resolution on Syria, said Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov.

He explained that the resolution is currently being distributed by the “sponsors” of the document among several UN member states, calling it a “common working process.”

Such distribution is unofficial, thus it does not trigger a 24-hour rule for a vote after the formal introduction of a resolution to the UN Security Council, Gatilov said.
