NRO:
Following Monday night’s nuclear test in North Korea, newly installed secretary of state John Kerry placed calls to get in touch with his counterparts from the key regional powers. That night, according to the State Department, he spoke with the foreign ministers of South Korea, China, and Japan. But one key player didn’t deign to get back to JFK: Russia’s foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov. Russia has publicly condemned the test, calling for Pyongyang to halt its nuclear program and abide by the terms of the Non-Proliferation Treaty, but they apparently don’t feel like discussing these objections with the U.S.
On Wednesday, one reporter suggested that it seems Kerry has been “frantically trying to call Foreign Minister Lavrov,” but State’s press secretary retorted, “There’s been nothing frantic about it. He reached out to Foreign Minister Lavrov yesterday [and] made it clear that he’s ready to talk whenever Foreign Minister Lavrov has the time.”
One reporter pointed out to press Secretary Victoria Nuland on Tuesday, after it was revealed that Kerry hadn’t spoken to Lavrov, that it’s “funny how Foreign Minister Lavrov always seems to be traveling and unavailable when the secretary of state of the United States wants to make an urgent phone call to him.” Nuland explained that “our understanding is he’s traveling in Africa,” but she noted that he had “made a quite strong public statement” condemning the test and calling for North Korea to abandon their illegal nuclear program (in Pretoria, South Africa, no less, an interesting place to condemn a rogue nuclear-testing program).

I didn't blame Bush for anything. Nothing. At all.
What stories are making up to blame Obama for today?

That they don't call back IS a direct reflection on the disrespect they have for DA NIGGER

So a phone call could have saved lives in Benghazi?The latest is Obama "Hero For Life," didn't make a single phone call to anyone during the Benghazi debacle until after everyone was dead, so his original claim that he was on top of the situation was another lie.
Bush should have been impeached for failure to enforce immigration laws.
I must write a strongly-worded letter about Syria. I'm sure that will solve their problems.

Still waiting
Is that me you're still waiting for? Geez, BB, the last time I posted in here I had to leave to go to work. You know, like going off to be productive, save lives and pay taxes and all that. You, apparently, have more time on your hands.
But now that the thread has resurfaced, I'll answer you. If the Russians didn't call back, it doesn't necessarily reflect anything other than their arrogance. Regardless, the NRO twisted it as they saw fit and you bought it hook, line and sinker (as usual) and decided to share it with us. How lucky we are.
Tell me again how I blamed Bush.
Still waiting.

Kerry Finally Reaches Lavrov by Phone
18 February 2013 | Issue 5071
The Moscow Times
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry finally reached Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov by phone over the weekend, after almost a week of trying to contact his Russian counterpart.
In a statement on its official website, the Foreign Ministry said that Lavrov and Kerry spoke by phone on Sunday and discussed North Korea and the international community's efforts to put an end to the civil conflict in Syria.
The ministry said that North Korea was discussed "on the initiative of the Russian side" and that Lavrov and Kerry had agreed to stay in touch.
The State Department had complained last week that Kerry was unable to get in touch with Lavrov to discuss North Korea's recent nuclear test, although the Foreign Ministry said Lavrov was traveling around Africa and couldn't make contact.
