US policy on Syria's Assad has not changed: State Department

U.S. policy on Syria's Bashar al-Assad has not changed, the State Department said Monday, saying the president was a dictator with blood on his hands but declining to specify whether Washington wants him out of power.

State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller told reporters at a regular news briefing that the U.S. wants to see de-escalation and the protection of civilians, and ultimately wants to see a political process forward in Syria where the Syrian people get to determine the leaders of the country.
