With ISIS around there would be no safe zone, either.
The only 'safe zone' I've heard him speak of is this one-
And suddenly the no-fly zone is happening — right where Turkey always wanted it — but it’s being labeled an “anti-ISIS” safe zone, instead of its proper name: “Anti Kurdish and anti-Syrian government” safe zone.
The U.S. media swallowed the name change without blinking, but many international media outlets knew better.
For instance, the International Business Timesreported:
[the safe zone deal]…could mark the end of [Syrian President] Assad…
And The Middle East Eye reported:
…[the safe zone] marks a breakthrough for Turkey in its confrontation with the Bashar al-Assad government in Syria. If the no-fly zone does come into being it will be a body blow for Assad and his supporters
Even U.S. media outlets acknowledged that the primary goal of Obama’s safe zone ally, Turkey, was defeating the Kurdish fighters and the Syrian government, both of whom have been the most effective fighters against ISIS.
The New York Times confirmed the goals of the safe zone allies:
…both the Turks and the Syrian insurgents see defeating President Bashar al-Assad of Syria as their first priority…
If the Syrian government wasn’t the target of the safe zone, then Syrian government troops would be the ones to control the safe zone post ISIS, as they did before ISIS. And if regime change wasn’t the target, then the Syrian government would have been consulted and coordinated with to attack ISIS, since Syria is involved with heavy fighting against ISIS in the same region that the safe zone is being carved out.
These steps weren’t taken because the “safe zone” plan is much bigger than ISIS.
Obama’s “Safe Zone” in Syria intended to turn it into new Libya
It is a tunnel into his mind. He wants Assad out more than he wants to fight ISIS.
You can't make a "safe zone" for the refugees if Assad is there.
