U.S.: Syria can’t hide behind Russia at U.N. Security Council

“We do not believe the Syrian regime should be able to hide behind the fact that the Russians continue to block action on Syria at the U.N. and we will make our decision on appropriate action going forward,” State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf told reporters.

AFP:

A resolution condemning Syria’s alleged poison gas use has stalled in the UN Security Council due to Russian “intransigence,” the United States said Wednesday.

“We see no avenue forward, given continued Russian opposition to any meaningful Council action on Syria,” State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf said after Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States discussed a British drafted resolution that could allow military action in Syria.
