JOHN KERRY: OH, BY THE WAY, THE U.S. IS NO LONGER ASKING FOR REGIME CHANGE IN SYRIA, Allahpundit writes at Hot Air:

After this story broke this afternoon, conservative Twitter spent an enjoyable half-hour swapping links to some of the many statements Obama’s made over the years insisting on regime change in Syria. How about this classic, from all the way back in 2011? Or how about this one from just three months ago? Better yet, how about this one from a mere four weeks ago? With the possible exception of “If you like your plan, you can keep your plan,” no Obama lie has been told more often or better captures his failures as president.

Obama wants regime change. Putin doesn’t want regime change. Regime change canceled.

Not to mention, the MSM no longer has to memory hole photos of Kerry and Pelosi happily dining with and chatting up Assad, and this classic Evita-esque profile of Asma al-Assad courtesy of Obama/Hillary groupie Anna Wintour.
