The ceasefire agreement was in place and the possibility of normalcy was within reach. But, according to Russian officials, the deal fell through because the U.S. wanted to keep it secret.
Then American planes bombed and killed dozens of Syrian soldiers, for the benefit of ISIS, later admitting to making a mistake. The next day Russia bombed a UN convoy that was allegedly accompanied by armed rebels. So he we are now, worse off than before.
Thank you Secretary Kerry. Top notch diplomacy efforts.
Ammar al Selmo, the head of civil defense rescue service in opposition-held Aleppo, said three of its four centers in Aleppo had been hit. “What’s happening now is annihilation in every sense of the word,” he told Reuters. “Today the bombardment is more violent, with a larger number of planes.”
Assad remains defiant, saying on Thursday he expected the conflict to “drag on” as long as it is part of a global conflict in which the groups fighting him are backed by Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey and the United States.
The International Syria Support Group, including Moscow, Washington and other major powers, met on the sidelines of the annual United Nations gathering of world leaders in New York.
“We have exchanged ideas with the Russians and we plan to consult tomorrow with respect to those ideas,” Kerry said, expressing concern at the reports of the planned new Syrian offensive. “I am no less determined today than I was yesterday but I am even more frustrated.”
Maybe if we weren’t pursuing regime change policies around the world and supporting ISIS with air cover, Kerry might find his job far less beguiling.

Russia didn’t want the ceasefire because they are bombing to keep Assad in power. The US really didn’t want a ceasefire because they bet the farm on a regime change.
correct. The only part you’re missing is the farm club is called ISIS.
Speaking of farms, Kerry should get off the farm and over to Monmouth Park. He’s drawn the four post in the 8th race.
Well Isis never wants a ceasefire.
I always get a chuckle when I hear “Syrian Rebels” – umm that’s ISIS.
Oh and chalk up another win for SJW’s aND ISIS – Canada will no longer be calling them ISIS rather Daesh, as there is “nothing Islamic about ISIS” – what a load of shit, just like when world leaders get on the teevee and tell us how Islam is a religion of peace…what a load of shit
“The next day Russia bombed a UN convoy that was allegedly accompanied by armed rebels.”
Who actually bombed the UN convoy is yet to be ascertained.
And amidst all the chaos, the World Health Organization, United Nations…..and ISIS are pushing for a crackdown on Syrian ham & eggers and their cigarettes… Lmao! http://www.timesofisrael.com/amid-war-un-warns-syrians-smoking-is-a-grave-health-risk/
Reminds me of this classic:

Blaming Kerry for a milotary bombing campaign gone awry seems a bit much.
That being said, Syria is a cesspool of violence and leadership. There will be no immediate positive outcome. Assad is an authoritarian willing to kill any number of peaceful Syrian citizens, or target foreign press and humanitarians the like. The Russians want him in power to retain a Mediterranean port.
If Assad goes, the vacuum will be filled like it was in Iraq, with extremists searching for susceptible locales to pursue their brand of terrorism and build power on the threat of violence rather than public support.
