Secretary Kerry: Well, here, happily, is the other side of the story, which is a good side,
which is the Russians have been working with us to try to bring about a Geneva 2 conference
where we do negotiate this follow-on transition government so that the Syrian people would
have an opportunity to choose their future. Right now, the problem has been Bashar al-Assad
thinks he's winning and has no desire to come to negotiate and will not negotiate a transition
government. So we are intending, as I said earlier, to upgrade the support to the opposition
to try to help the opposition be able to change the situation on the ground so that you can
force this negotiation and create this transition government.
