Kerry: ISIS ‘Cannot Be Defeated in the End Without De-Escalating the Conflict in Syria’

‘That will require a political process’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
JOHN KERRY: "The events in Paris underscore the threat that Daesh poses to all of us. In the region and well beyond it unfortunately. This is a major reason that President Obama's announced new steps to take on Daesh militarily. But we all know that Daesh cannot be defeated in the end without deescalating the conflict in Syria which attracts fighters to this battlefield. That will require a political process and that's why we're here in Vienna yet again."
