RT: Obama to UN: US ready to work with Russia and Iran on Syria
President Barack Obama addressed the United Nations General Assembly on Monday, telling world leaders that the United States is willing to work with Russia and Iran on solving the current crises in Syria.
In discussing the spread of Islamic State militants throughout Syria and Iraq, as well as the flood of migrants and refugees fleeing conflict there, Obama promised to work with the international community because the US “by itself, cannot impose stability on a foreign land, unless we work with other nations.”

WNU Editor: I was surprised to hear this from the President. Even for him it is a huge reversal of U.S. policy towards Syria, Russia, and Iran. There is going to be a lot of reaction in the Middle East on this new U.S. policy .... especially among U.S. allies who will probably be viewing this as more U.S. capitulation and disengagement from the region.
