Maybe a way out, but only if Kerry keeps his pie hole shut and claim credit.

Kerry would need to re-clarify his clarified rhetorical comment.

Lavrov’s comments came the same day Secretary of State John Kerry seemed to endorse a similar course of action.

Assad “could turn over every single bit of his chemical weapons to the international community in the next week,” Kerry said during a news conference with British Foreign Secretary William Hague. “But he isn't about to do it and it can't be done obviously.”

Kerry made the remark in London during the final stop of a trip that also included stops in Lithuania and France with the international response to the Assad regime's alleged use of chemical weapons dominating the conversation.

But the State Department soon sought to clarify Kerry's comment.

“Secretary Kerry was making a rhetorical argument about the impossibility and unlikelihood of Assad turning over chemical weapons he has denied he used,” State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.
