Obama: Only Political Transition Can End Syrian Civil War

‘— A transitional governing body, a new constitution with free elections, including a transition away from Assad’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
"We agreed to continue working closely to de-escalate and resolve regional conflicts. In Syria, the cessation of hostilities is under tremendous strain including continued violations by the Assad regime. This violence is yet another reminder that there’s only one way to end this civil war as our GCC partners agree. A transitional governing body, a new constitution with free elections, including a transition away from Assad."
