MOSCOW (AP) -- U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Tuesday accepted Russia's long-standing demand that President Bashar Assad's future be determined by his own people, as Washington and Moscow edged toward putting aside years of disagreement over how to end Syria's civil war.
"The United States and our partners are not seeking so-called regime change," Kerry told reporters

"Kerry's declarations crystallized the evolution in U.S. policy on Assad over the last several months".
"Russia, by contrast, has remained consistent in its view that no foreign government could demand Assad's departure"
Kerry will be out of government before Assad is.
I hope that sticks in his throat for decades.
We should probably send him eMails asking that question for decades.
Hey John, why the long face? Did you have to leave government before Assad did?
I love it, it is already a done deal because of the Russians that Assad will stay, everybody knows that. Then Kerry comes out to declare: I have decided that Assad can stay. What an ass-hat and embarrassment to America.
Damned flexible of him .
I guess if I were to photoshop a photo of a vagina on Kerry’s face I’d probably get in trouble...
In place of...
not “on top of”...
that’s...um...
nevermind.
You send one this year. I have 2016 : )
“Damned flexible of him .”
He looks like a soggy pretzel now.
LOL Sounds like a plan.
Assad is no longer like “Jenjis” Khan.
What the Hell did he mean by that? "So-called" regime change. Is this some type of Bush obsession? We don't want what that stupid cowboy Bush wanted? We are more sophisticated? When Kerry and the other stooges in the Obama administration said "Assad must go" over and over and over, they were being more nuanced than stupid Bush? So now they can bend over and smile when Putin holds firm on his demand that Assad stay and Kerry can pretend that he likes being Putin's prison bitch?
Kerry flew to Moscow for that ?
Run away!!!! Run away bravely!!
“Kerry will be out of government before Assad is.”
That cannot come soon enough.
So what happens to the U.S. Support for those Good Rebels fighting to overthrow Assad? Off the bus they go I guess. But good riddance. If they want to fight let them go against ISIS.
And Does Carly still think that a No-Fly Zone is a good idea?
There has been some really Bozo thinking lately about Syria. And the Bozos aren’t all Democrats.
That’s for sure.
It’s a national disgrace he’s even allowed in our buildings in Washington, D. C.
lol @ Lurch
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
That would be a terrible insult to femininity. Go... lower. Sort of. You know what I mean.
LOL. How stupid do Kerry and Obama think we are. Regime change has been the objective since the days of SecState Hillary Clinton. It is the defining axiom of our foreign policy with Syria.
