(Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday the U.S. Congress had no right to approve the use of force against Syria without a decision from the U.N. Security Council, and that doing so would be an "act of aggression".

In remarks that could raise tension further before he hosts President Barack Obama and other G20 leaders on Thursday, Putin also said U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry lied to Congress about the militant group al Qaeda's role in the Syrian conflict.
"They lie beautifully, of course. I saw debates in Congress. A congressman asks Mr Kerry: 'Is al Qaeda there?' He says: 'No, I am telling you responsibly that it is not'," Putin said at a meeting of his human rights council in the Kremlin.
"Al Qaeda units are the main military echelon, and they know this," he said, referring to the United States. "It was unpleasant and surprising for me - we talk to them, we proceed from the assumption that they are decent people. But he is lying and knows he is lying. It's sad."

I absolutely hate admitting this, but I like old Vlad more and more as this Marxist faggot continues to flush America down the world’s toilet.
What's sad is that our enemies have more credibility than our own government.
Rats never let a little thing called truth get in their way.
Well for one thing you can’t tell by looking at Kerry’s face
Must be satire. [/s]
Puty calling out Lurch’s lies. Love it.
Which one?
I have a hard time looking at Kerry, period. That is one ugly ass man.
Amazing that the Russian leader has exponentially better insight into the situation than anyone in our government.
You shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth.
Kerry is a liar
At least half of the communists Democrats that occupy Washington are garbage. Kerry was and always will be a liar. Putin, at least, has no fear from us and honestly would believe him before the King Obama/Kerry lying machine.
Obama is the ultimate product of the “False Self Esteem” movement in the USA.
He still can’t deal with the reality that everyone isn’t thrilled to eat his crap with a wooden spoon.
He is stunned that anyone would challenge him - after all, the republicans always roll over without him even asking.
Now he is out of the toybox and in the real world and I suspect he is about to get a dose of harsh reality.
Obama gets us in these jams with his amatuerish attemmpts at foreign diplomacy in the middle east.
Now his childish buffoonery will once again get innocent people killed.
It is too bad we can’t demand that Obama settle this mano-a-mano between him and Putin in a Death-Match Cage.
But Obama would probably wimp out and send Michelle in as his ringer.
Spitball...ping!
I have a hard time looking at Kerry, period. That is one ugly ass man.

He sure is ugly. Inside and out.
Putin is now the 2013 Swiftboater.
Amazing the leader of Russia publicly calls the US SOS a liar.
