Kerry talks tough on Syria: 'words are not enough'

Tough-talking John Kerry opened swiftly-convened talks on Syria’s chemical weapons by bluntly rejecting the country’s pledge to begin a “standard process” by turning over information rather than weapons – and nothing immediately.

“This is not a game,” the US secretary of state declared at an opening news conference in Geneva, Switzerland, with a stony-faced Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov at his side. “The words of the Syrian regime in our judgment are simply not enough.”
