The Obama Administration is shocked and dismayed that someone may not follow through on promises they made to the Administration. To paraphrase Mr. Lavrov; If you like your ceasefire, you can keep your ceasefire, period. Why the duplicity is stunning, unexpected, and and........yes troubling!?!?!?

The cessation of hostilities would take longer than a week if Russia can't win the war that quickly, and the U.S. will just have to accept the consequences. That's what it gets for all those years wasted fooling around with the "Syria National Council" and the "Syria Free Army" effort engineered by H. Clinton and ex-ambassador Ford, two genuine fools.
