Military pressure may be needed to oust Syria's President Bashar al-Assad, US Secretary of State John Kerry said in Saudi Arabia on Thursday.

SNIP---

"Ultimately a combination of diplomacy and pressure will be needed to bring about a political transition. Military pressure particularly may be necessary given President Assad's reluctance to negotiate seriously."

Doesn’t ISIL control more Syrian territory than Asad’s and the government?

Concieve this— ISIS is the creation of the US “intel” OK?
As such, it is a font of arms support for the delusional comrades in certain sectors of that world (the ones controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood) to create another Libya (that went so well).

Net result ISIS will fail as intended, and Iran will kick our ass, as intended. The intent is weakened US power in the region.

So, your question is exactly one posed by JUST such an Ivy League gigolo moron chickenh#t frenchie fake jean kerri’. Because he BELIEVES he’s in control. A complete farce.

Want the US to win. Then blast ISIS our to existence. Maintain secular Assad in place (who btw tolerates jews and christians in his country rather openly), and tell the GD Saudi’s to go kill their madrassah sponsors, and leave us the hell alone— or we’ll take THEM out.

The fine hand of the trough eaters of suppliers of arms to the Sauds.... I mean what WOULD they do if they didn’t have those contracts. The Sauds are killing us and so are the Iranians— the answer is get rid of both— destroy ANY hopes or network of the Caliphate. And that includes Turkey our “ally” in NATO (not). Kerri’ is a moron. Obamaumao is the one who thinks he can be caliph (when he is really a stupid mulatto perversion).

The notion of a moderate Iran is the first problem. The notion that Saud is our pal is the second problem. The NWO crowd does not care about this as regards sovereignty of the US.

Maybe they are hoping to make the situation so hopeless there that the only road to victory is nuclear.

There’s no good option in Syria. Keep Assad, you get Iranian head-chopping shia pedophilia with nukes. Dump Assad, you get sunni head-chopping cannibal pedophilia.

Enjoy your choice.

We should be supporting Assad, not trying to oust him.
He might be a bastard, but he’s are predictable, somewhat secular, and relatively well behaved bastard.

of course. Assad isn’t dangerous enough to America or anyone else (as bad as he is). What we ‘need’ is a far more IslamoNazi type dicator there, preferably in league with all the other Satanic mass-murderers our current Washington DC regime is so fond of helping seize power and expand (Christians, Jews, and others in their path...prepare to be raped, crucified or burned alive in cages. Loads of fun ahead, folks! Loads more fun!).

ps: perhaps Big Time War Hero JFK might lead the invasion for us?

Why would Assad drive Hezbollah out of his country, he wanted them there in the first place. They are some of his best fighting men. Assad is fighting for his life along with his Alawite (branch of Shiite faction) people. The Alawite’s are a minority in Syria, they will fight to the death. They have no other choice. That is why he used chemical weapons. It was a sign to his people that he was all in. He was not going to cut and run, because his only other option was the Hague. He will cut no deals, his only play now is victory, death, or life imprisonment. He will pick door number one. He knows that any negotiated settlement will be reneged on and he will end up in a prison cell in the end.

This is wonderful news... And to think once Iran has a bomb, their goal may in fact not be Israel, but the House of Saud and every Sunni Muslim in existence.

What does sKerry recommend? A really small, minute, nearly undetectable bombing strike?

Whom do you think we were selling arms to? ISIS was created and funded whole cloth out of the “moderates” that the idiot John McCain visited. Elements of them also came from the leadership gap that was left when OBAMAUMAO decided to pull everything out of Iraq to keep his ultraleft loonies happy. The “good” fighters to helped McCain his “reach across the aisle “ to his demo pals supporting the the other “good” muslims in the Muslim Brotherhood (see Huma Abedin, Hillary’s leso lover, whose momma and daddy helped start the MB) and of which our CIA director is one— a freaking muzzie convert from .... get this, Irish Catholicism.

Wah, Waaah mommy and daddy, says little Brennan— this is how I can be the next Philby, Sr. the “genius” Arabist of UK fame who f’d up their empire in a big way. He and his loveable lib/communist son Kim.... (LOL, “Kim”)

FRiend you need to read some Kipling. You can only rent these “fighters” and thinking one can “control” them is sheer folly. If nothing else take a look at the equipment they have— and where they are getting parts for it.

Guess the “reality” you prefer is the narration from our Dear Leader that ISIS is a JV team (his “meme” if you will for the operation he is supporting for the caliphate). This is one dangerous “executive” to our sovereignty.

In their great self congraditory arrogant wisdom in their remarkable superiority intelligence them deem to create peace by causing Israel to give up land and live with consessions.
Apart from their LA LA Land diplomacy in reality they are creating a powder keg of uncertainty at the best, and a full blow cluster flop ready to boil over into WWIII at a moments notice.
Israel are the only one’s with wisdom at this point.
