Secretary of State John Kerry told CBS’ “Face the Nation” this morning that the U.S. will eventually have to negotiate with Syria President Bashar al-Assad.
John Kerry says he's willing to negotiate with Syria's Assad, showing the awfulness that happens when you cross Obama's red line.

Based on Kerry's statement re talking to Assad today: the Iran negotiations are going really well, for Iran.

A little while later, State Department spokesperson Marie Harf took to Twitter attempting to clean up Kerry’s remarks.

.@marieharf @JohnKerry So I guess it depends what the definition of “regime at table” is?
— Benjamin Weingarten (@bhweingarten) March 15, 2015
