One of many lies uttered by the habitual liar (and poseur, John Kerry, and I hate his personality more than I hate his politics), is that the US will bomb Syria to expedite a political settlement.

In all three cases, puppets of the US (namely Qatar and Saudi Arabia) foiled their missions. In all three cases.
