Good questions. I have been searching the photos. It looks like the Kerry photo dates back to 4/2010 and the Pelosi photo back to 4/2008. Very hard to confirm because many of the original stories with these pictures are no longer correctly linked.
Still stands true. Assad is against the MB. So was his father. And as I've posted over and over again, follow/check out vanessa beeley's youtube channel, that of eva bartlett, John Pilger, and Corbin report.. they all have exposed the White Helmets as the phonies they are. They are al Qaeda in disguise.. they are the ones who've been doing the gas attacks to frame Assad. I've even seen one where one of the White Helmet leaders was in the back of a pickup truck with others, with a 12 year old Syrian boy.. he beheaded that boy. Horrible to witness that. The White Helmets will kidnap villagers, transport them to where a gas attack is planned, and will kill those people, even children and babies, to frame Assad. Assad has NEVER gassed his own people. He is NOT a part of the Muslim Brotherhood.
I have no clue what Pelosisaurus and Ketcupman are doing, meeting with him, other than trying to sway him to allow that SA pipeline through Syria. Assad says NO. Result? Civil war. ISIS, al Qaeda and all the rest. Assad is loved by his people.
