John Kerry: After So Much Carnage, Syria Can't Have A Return To "Status Quo" | Video | RealClearPolitics: Secretary of State John Kerry speaks to the United Nations Security Council about Russian military actions happening right now in Syria.
Kerry said that U.S. forces had launched "a number of strikes [in Syria] over the past 24 hours, including some just an hour ago... And these strikes will continue," even though Russian forces are also active in the area.
"We must not and we will not be confused in our fight against ISIL," Kerry said, before repeating assurances made by President Obama to Vladimir Putin earlier this week: "If Russia’s recent actions and those now ongoing reflect a genuine commitment to defeat [the Islamic State], we are prepared to welcome those efforts and find a way to deconflict and therefore multiply our efforts."
