Reuters: 'Constructive' talks on Syria war could be resumed: Kerry

The United States, Russia, Saudi Arabia and Turkey failed to resolve differences on the fate of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in talks on Friday but could meet again in a week to discuss how to end Syria's civil war.

Speaking to reporters afterwards, ministers said they had been unable to bridge the central dispute between Washington and its allies, who say Assad has no future in Syria, and Russia, which showed its support by hosting him in Moscow this week.

In a separate development, Russia and Jordan agreed to coordinate their military actions on Syria by setting up a "special working mechanism" in the Jordanian capital, Amman, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Friday.

WNU Editor: Everyone knows what John Kerry is trying to do. He is trying to create momentum in the process whereby over time Assad will be removed from power. Unfortunately .... this avoids answering (or even confronting) the real hard issues and/or making the hard decisions. In short ... this talks are doomed to fail.

The Obama administration is going to kick the can over to the next administration to deal with it. like the Iranian nuclear deal. In my opinion no a single Russian life is worth to lose in Siria. And when it comes to turkey have no option but to deal with it. Saudi Arabia well I don't care about this people are bad news for everyone.
