quickly as possible. obviously, there are those countries that say bashar has to move today and the russians are saying not before 18 months. i'll talk about this from our point of view because obviously we have the free syrian army in the south and we're working with the russians, creating a cease-fire with our forces in the south. and i specifically have discussed with putin. you can't expect young men and women to put their arms down and abide by a cease-fire if there's no movement on the political process vienna. they're not going to sit there and do this for two or three months and not expect something to happen. so the russians are fully aware that sooner rather than later we have to have a mechanism that allows the process to move forward. and i think we all understand that that does mean the departure of bashar. >> the saudis, as you know, executed a shiite cleric.
