Ray speaks to RT immediately after the announcement that talks on Syria will resume.
October 12, 2016 (six minutes)
The way Ray reconstructs events over the past several days is the following:
Obama tells Kerry, “Enough already with the War-Crimes charges;” Obama tells Secretary of Defense Ash Carter, “Enough with the insubordination. We are going to do the only sensible thing on Syria; namely, resume talks Saturday (Oct. 15) in Lausanne, Switzerland, at the foreign minister level.” The U.S., Russia, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, and Iran will take part.
Now, if Kerry can only find out where those “moderate” rebels (labeled a “fantasy” by Obama two years ago, and “unicorns” by Assad one week ago) are hiding, so that the U.S. can honor its promise to separate them out from those rebels deemed immoderate! Wonder what happened to the “refined ways” of accomplishing this, the “refined ways” that Kerry bragged a month ago.
