First off, good for Kerry and Obama.  They are showing wisdom in partnering with the Russians who, if treated with respect, will make excellent allies.  But look at the tone of the article.  It is anti-Assad.  I suspect the reporter got background from the US government and it shows that the US support of the terrorists in order to get rid of Assad thus prolonging the war and contributing to the ongoing river of death.  Assad is a bad leader???  Maybe, but if we had left Syria alone, Refugees would not be scattered over the world and almost all of the half million dead would still be alive.  The US has caused massive death in support of the terrorist rebels just because some interest groups want Assad out.  A shame, a true shame.
