John Kerry actually said...

"The United States supports the Syrian people and demands that the regime immediately stop its violent repression of peaceful protesters."

"We have stated publicly that we do not believe Assad will implement reforms, that his regime will soon be part of the past and that we have no interest in the regime's continuation."

"The United States must stand firm in our opposition to any Hamas role in the Palestinian Government."

"It is not about bullets. It is about ballots."
