STEVE HAYES, SENIOR WRITER, THE WEEKLY STANDARD: Well, it's a good sign from the president. I think it's one thing for him to call it and it's another thing for him to do the diplomatic work that actually makes it happen.
I think that's unlikely. We have already heard China say basically without qualification that they oppose the sanctions.
Here's the reality:
Ambassadors from the US, Britain, France, Germany, China and Russia have resumed negotiations at the UN on possible sanctions.
Diplomats say China and Russia want something "much much weaker, much much narrower" than the other countries and China has not publicly said it would support sanctions, our correspondent reports.
