The man should be in a straitjacket not fulminating on the floor of the Congress.

The entire US political establishment supports the removal of Assad and the breaking up of Syria. Kerry's sudden appeal for dialogue does not represent a fundamental change in the strategy. It's merely an attempt to buy some time for US-backed mercenaries who are feeling the full-brunt of the Russia's bombing campaign. Putin would be well-advised to ignore Kerry's braying and continue to prosecute his war on terror until the job is done.

(Note: As this article was going to press, the Turkish Daily Zaman reported that: "...the US and several European and Gulf states...have agreed to a plan under which Syria's embattled President Bashar al-Assad will remain in power for the next six months during a transition period...Turkey has abandoned its determination [to get rid of Assad] and has agreed on an interim period with Assad in place," former Foreign Minister Ya�...Ÿar YakÄ ��...Ÿ told Today's Zaman on Tuesday...If the Syrian people decide to continue with Assad, then there is not much Turkey can object to." (Report: Turkey agrees to Syria political transition involving Assad, Today's Zaman)

This story has not yet appeared in any western media. Obama's Syrian policy has completely collapsed.
