Obama And Cameron Reiterate Call For Russian Intervention In Syria -- New York Times
WASHINGTON — President Obama and Prime Minister David Cameron of Britain expressed hope on Monday that President Vladimir V.

And Mr. Obama acknowledged that “lingering suspicions” inside Russia made the likelihood of Moscow’s intervention uncertain.
