White House says Syria, Libya “different circumstances” « Newsessentials Blog

But when asked if the U.S. has tried to mobilize support to take military actions against Syria, Carney shunned the question, only repeating previous position by the Obama administration which urges Syrian President Bashar Assad to either “lead the transition or step aside.”

He called on Assad to cease the violence and strongly condemned the ongoing violence in Syria.

“We, as we have in other places, call on the leadership there to engage in non-violence and to engage in political dialogue so that the Syrian people can fully participate in their government and improve their own futures,” Carney said.
