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 in the Russian capital after meeting President Vladimir Putin. A major international conference on Syria would take place later this week in New York, Kerry announced.
Kerry's declarations crystallized the evolution in U.S. policy on Assad over the last several months, as the Islamic State group's growing influence in the Middle East has taken priority.
President Barack Obama first called on Assad to leave power in the summer of 2011, with "Assad must go and he will go, sooner than later" being Obama's consistent rallying cry.
Appearing beside Kerry, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov hailed what he described as a "big negotiating day," saying the sides advanced efforts to define what a Syrian transition process might look like with Assad remaining in power.
The world is better off when Russia and the U.S. work together, he added, calling Obama and Putin's current cooperation a "sign of maturity," Kerry stressed.

So what are you trying to say, RealTool?
Did you support Obama's policy in 2011 or do you support his policy now?
Are you upset or are you relieved to finally support your President?
You didn't make your position clear.

I guess Obama's policy tomorrow will be decided for him by Putin.
Maybe Obama should go back to drawing lines in the sand. :lol:

Obozo just wants to suck Putins cock. As he tickles his balls. Drawing meaninglessness lines in the sand is the other thing Obozo is good at.

You didn't make your position clear.
The point you missed is that our President hasn't made his position clear. :shock:

"The point you missed is that our President hasn't made his position clear."-RealsTool
"Obama - Assad MUST GO... I mean STAY"-RealsTool admits Obama's position is now "stay"
""The United States and our partners are not seeking so-called regime change," Kerry told reporters"- sTool's article
^^^^It's right there in your own post, Tool.
Caught you with your pants down on this subject, eh?
You didn't realize you were painting yourself into a corner with your partisan criticism so now you're trying distraction.
You still can't tell us whether you support Obama now or that you supported him in the past.
Which is it, Tool? :lol:

There you go again, blindly defending Obama. So clown are you really arguing that Kerry went rogue and doesn't speak for Obama?
