Following lengthy talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow today, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has said the United States is not seeking regime change in Syria and that the U.S. and Russia see the conflict "fundamentally very similarly."
"The United States and its partners are not seeking so-called regime change as it is known in Syria," Kerry said in a news conference inside the Kremlin, before immediately adding that the U.S. continues to believe that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has no possibility of remaining the country's leader in the future.

Then what are we doing there? Why are we arming the ‘moderate Jihadists’?
A completely nonsensical foreign policy making the region and world more dangerous.
How do you tell when John Kerry is lying?
That's a good question, because I'm not sure he can tell, himself.
His lips are moving.
Hit the ‘reset button’ on Syria so many times they wore it out.
Huh?
Is that a knew policy???
Not that I am complaining, but it sounds like “surrender” to me.
And if we (Secretary of State Kerry) just did that, I support him completely in his attempts to extricate ourselves from a failed Obama/Hillary policy failure.
Actually it is the best move he could have made. We cannot burn the candle at both ends in the middle east.

Say what? Our clown of a POTUS has been trying to overthrow Asad and replace him with any islamic extremtist for quite a while now.
What a joke!
It might be that an adult stepped into the room...as much as I despise Kerry, maybe there’s a patriot under there after all? Naw.... couldn’t be. But I think he made a smart move.
Obozo, McAinal, Linda and Joan Chicken Currie have been screaming for the removal of Assad for years.
Wonder what Putin threatened to put on the internet, they do not want revealed.
Gee, Jeff say what you and mean and don’t pussy foot around!:)
Wow.
That’s a huge policy shift.
And means we might actually care to fight AGAINST ISIS, rather than arm them and be purposefully ineffectual against them.
He negotiated a surrender of sorts.
Our failed policy and one which congress voted against ...war in Syria....and the regime pulled proxy from behind closed doors...
If Hillary is to be “president” then the mess Obama and her created needs to be cleaned up or we need to extricate ourselves from it and save some sort of face. Kerry may have just done that!
So what exactly is our Syria Policy, oh Ketchup King?
I read just tonight that the rebels we have been arming, have collapsed. That means it ISIS vs. ASSAD.
It also means our “policy” has absolutely failed.
We surrendered to Russia/Syria.
Obama blinked.
I refuse heinz ketchup! Organic is so much better!
