Carney spinning Lurch’s declaration about a tiny little bitty war.
Carney says the White House would welcome any way to reduce and destroy all of Assad’s chemical weapons stockpile, but expresses skepticism about the potential for Assad to fully cooperate with such a proposal. “There are ongoing conversations at the highest levels” about the proposal, Carney says, to evaluate the proposal and see how it might avert military action — though he attributes the credible threat of action to the formulation of the proposal in the first place.

No matter how this works out, Kerry stuck his foot in mouth (State Dept tried to clean it up)-—definitely went off the reservation and changed everything. Russia said, “bingo” -— chess analogy is better though.
2 hrs later, Lavrov asks Assad to consider. 1- 2 hrs later, Assad says OK. LOL
I DVRed CNN & Fox this am. Fox has had little coverage of Syria (not even covering Carney presser). CNN has had wall-to-wall coverage all morning and continuing.
