GENEVA (Reuters) - Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday reiterated the U.S. position that force might be needed against Syria if diplomacy over President Bashar al-Assad's chemical weapons stockpile fails.
"President Obama has made clear that should diplomacy fail force might be necessary to deter and degrade Assad's capacity to deliver these weapons," Kerry said in Geneva at the start of talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
