Secretary of State John Kerry, speaking at the British Foreign Office, offered the idea in response to a journalist's question about how strikes on Syria could be averted. The Independent reports Kerry said:
<B>âSure, [Assad] could turn over every single bit of his chemical weapons to the international community in the next week â turn it over, all of it without delay and allow the full and total accounting (of it), but he isn't about to do it and it can't be done.â</B>
Kerry's tone was largely dismissive of the idea, as the video on that page shows. Almost immediately realizing that this might be taken as a serious offer of political settlement, Kerry quickly backtracked, explaining that he considered Assadâs compliance with this option impossible. The State Department also quickly declared the secretary's comments to be "rhetorical," CNN reports.
The Russians, however, appear to be taking the idea seriously. The Associated Press reports that Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov embraced Kerry's suggestion in a statement from Moscow.
<B> Not too long afterward, Reuters and AP both tweeted that Syria âwelcomedâ this arrangement.</B>

Amazing huh! What country can't play America these days?
I bet Kerry has heard the words âUnbelievably Smallâ many times in his life.
