The White House said on Tuesday that Turkish criticism of Syrian
President Bashar al-Assad had deepened the isolation of his regime.

“We very much welcome the strong stance Turkey has taken,” White House
deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes told reporters traveling
with President Barack Obama to Asia. “Turkey’s comments today further
point to the fact that President Assad is isolated,” he said.
