Secretary of State John Kerry says a ceasefire between Syria's government
and opposition could be just weeks away from reality, AP reports. [1] Kerry
said the ceasefire envisioned by the political process agreed upon in Vienna
on Saturday would significantly help efforts to fight ISIS as well as end
the Syrian civil war. "We're weeks away conceivably from the possibility of
a big transition for Syria, and I don't think enough people necessarily
notice that," Kerry said.
John McCain noticed, and he's not happy. McCain slammed the ceasefire deal
on NPR, on the grounds that it accepts that Russia and Iran have influence
in Syria. [2] But a war to remove Russian and Iranian influence from Syria
would be a long war indeed. Saudi Arabia and Turkey, key backers of the
Syrian opposition, signed the deal in Vienna, but that's not good enough for
John McCain.

Secretary Kerry has done what 55 House Democrats [3], led by Jim Himes,
urged him to do: get a deal with Russia and Iran to end the Syrian civil
war, so the world can cooperate to confront ISIS. As Rep. Himes said on the
House floor at the time [4], Washington has to accept that a realistic
political deal in Syria that allows the world to focus on confronting ISIS
is not going to be "perfect" from Washington's point of view.
