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.

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

.@marieharf @JohnKerry So I guess it depends what the definition of “regime at table” is?
