The latest on the conflict in Syria, and the Russia and Turkey brokered cease-fire agreement between Syria's government and opposition rebels. All times local.

10 p.m.

U.S. deputy ambassador Michele Sison says the Obama administration strongly supports a nationwide cease-fire in Syria accompanied by "unfettered humanitarian access" but regrets that details of the agreement brokered by Russia and Turkey have not yet been made public.

Sison told the U.N. Security Council after it unanimously adopted a resolution Saturday backing Russian and Turkish efforts to end the fighting in Syria and jump-start peace negotiations that "the goals are laudable and we welcome all efforts to end the violence."

team obama regrets they snubbed kerry and obama.

[Starboard]

Team Obama is being snubbed and ignored. Weakness and incompetence is not respected by anyone.

[Bogie]

Back door politics doesn’t help either.

[Parley Baer]

Meanwhile Obama and McCain are secretly supporting ISIS in trying to overthrow Assad.

[DoughtyOne]

Team Obama:

Acted Out

Left Out

Petered Out

.

The Left has no clout, and has been kicked out.

Obama illegally provoked the war to try to overthrow that govt and install his extremist IslamoNazi gangsters in power there ..............(with an estimated half MILLION murdered souls already ...lots and lots of blood on Obama’s hands)

and now see where he’s wound up?
losing his gambit,
plus being reduced to total irrelevency in the Middle East and eastern Mediterranean
(the active parties don’t even bother to send Obama a carbon copy letting him know what they’ve done )

pray for America, 22 days to go!!!

I thought Putin was really going to teach Turkey a lesson because of the ambassador that was slain but here they are making ceasefires with them.

[jimjohn]

Sticking with my prediction: Obama will try a stunt to break the cease fire before Jan 20.

[VeniVidiVici]

Thanks to Obama the US is reduced to following instead of leading

[Hugin]

I betcha not one in a hundred Americans knows what “opacity” means.

Obama started this war and did everything possible to keep it going. Putin has proven to be the better leader in every way.

Only three more weeks, thank God.

[ully2]

Following is exactly what is meant by leading from behind.

I’m betting the Cubs winning the World Series. Any Bets?

Cease fires are a known tactic Islamic countries use to regroup when they are losing. I for one do not look favorably upon this cease fire. Annihilate them and be done with them forever. Do not let them regroup to attack again at a later date.
