For the BOG: Lavrov, Kerry 'Agree On Need' For Syria Peace Conference


U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry (right) and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov confer during a press briefing at the State Department in Washington on August 9.

August 10, 2013

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says he and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry have agreed on the need to start a Syrian peace conference in Geneva as soon as possible.

Lavrov made the remarks after talks in Washington on August 9 with Kerry.
Lavrov said he and Kerry agreed they should meet again by the end of August to prepare for the proposed Geneva talks.

Kerry said Russia and the United States needed to find ways to work around their differences on Syria’s civil war, and to make progress on missile defense, Afghanistan, and nuclear disputes with Iran and North Korea.

The talks came as the political mood between Moscow and Washington hit a low point – with U.S. President Barack Obama earlier this week canceling an upcoming meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Will those who called Kerry a sell-out, MIC stooge and warmonger now pull Kerry out from under the bus and call him a peacemonger?

Sadly, I doubt it. They'll be onto the next ignorant media hyped outrage.



Because the media has taught them it's cool and smart to go after Obama and that the Democrats don't care or don't know what they're doing.

So they stay in that zone since it's all they know, they can't fight it. Some people forgot that Obama won the election twice, for good reasons, about ideals that matter.

They are so used to losing from the Bush years, they are in a state of shock and can't leave that state of sputtering outrage. Like a dog that chased a car and caught it, they don't know how to handle a victory.

JHMO.

because, imo, they know they are seriously outclassed and outsmarted by both, and they prefer elevating the vitriolic dumb@sses like Ted Cruz and Rand Paul who make them feel smarter in comparison.

who can do their thing and make it happen. In spite of giant loads of bullcrap shoveled at the American People by the rw media and the profiteering left.

Just more information that ignorant internet posters didn't have at their disposal and wouldn't have considered it if they had.. wouldn't fit their agenda.

The media and others will finish with this. Then they will return to the trough to fortify themselves for the next feeding frenzy.

Thanks, freshwest. I just finished watching the Presidents address. It was excellent.
