Kerry Doesn't Like Obama's Syria Policy

[longknife]

I bet there are some very unhappy people in the White House over this leaked audio of Mister Heinz talking to a small group of Syrian civilians.



Over and over again, he complained to a small group of Syrian civilians that his diplomacy had not been backed by a serious threat of military force, according to an audio recording of the meeting obtained by The New York Times.

Me neither, we have no right to be there.

At the meeting last week, Mr. Kerry was trying to explain that the United States has no legal justification for attacking Mr. Assad’s government, whereas Russia was invited in by the government.

Obama/Clinton Syrian policy is
1. to supply all kids of weapons to "moderate opposition"= Al-Nusra;
2. never to bomb Al-Nusra (was admitted yesterday by spokesperson John Kirby) because they need it against Assad.

* The bottom line for the Obama administration is regime change, which means a jihadist victory in Syria, and that is the rabbit they are constantly trying to pull out of the hat.
'US priority in Syria: Stop Aleppo from falling to pro-Assad forces'

* one of the US demands was that the Syrian air force must be prohibited from attacking al-Nusra Front (al-Qaeda in Syria).
George W. Bush famously said, "either you're with us, or you are with the terrorists." But what happens when Washington itself is "with the terrorists"?

* September 17:
The CIA has been coordinating weapon deliveries on the Turkey-Syria border, German journalist Jurgen Todenhofer, who recently spoke with a Jabhat al-Nusra commander, said. He added that the US knows that the weapons it delivers to rebels end up with terrorists.
In the interview the Jabhat al-Nusra unit commander Abu Al Ezz said that US weapons are being delivered to the terrorist group by governments that Washington supports and American instructors have been providing instruction on how to use them.

Watch the video^, you'll learn a lot of interesting things about Washington

* Lavrov’s Interview to BBC
The US is keeping jihadist group al-Nusra for a “Plan B”, potentially to overthrow Syrian President Assad, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with the BBC.
Lavrov said that Washington has still not delivered on its promise to persuade US-backed rebels to separate from Jabhat al-Nusra jihadists.
Lavrov countered that it’s the militants “controlled by al-Nusra” who jeopardize peace efforts. The terrorists are “shielding themselves with other armed groups” in order not to be attacked, Lavrov noted, stressing that Washington needs to do more to persuade moderate forces to dodge any cooperation with Jihadists.

* Daniel McAdams is Executive Director of the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity:
The concept of “moderate rebels” in Syria is a joke. If an armed group of people in USA tried to pull out a coup, would Washington recognize it as a “moderate”? Not likely. Washington has to admit: their “moderate rebels” and al-Qaeda are the same things.

The main result of Russia’s operation in Syria is that Islamic State and Al-Nusra Front terrorists have been kept out of Damascus, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said.

Russian airstrikes on radical Islamists in Syria over the past year have ensured that "neither Islamic State, nor Al-Qaeda nor the Nusra Front are now sitting in Damascus," Peskov said in a conference call with reporters.

What Syrian policy? His aim is to aid and support the Islamists.

I'm surprised that with his pacifistic isolationist personal constitution that BHO got involved in Syria in the first place.

From Frontline it was apparent that Hillary got BHO involved in Libya and it was Hillary who was mostly responsible for the death of Gaddafi.

Reagan hated Gaddafi too and ended up killing Gaddafi's son with one of his air strikes there.

Hillary must have hated Gaddafi as well.

Unfortunately that action by Hillary resulted in the deaths of an American ambassador and 3 of his bodyguards too.

Overall I am guessing that BHO let himself get talked into all the Middle Eastern involvement.

It seems out of character with BHO's own principles. His own campaign promises were to get out of there.

ME policy for the last 15 years has been awful.
