Saudi FM: Assad must go or face 'military option'
Yahoo ^ | 09/29/15

Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad must leave office or face being turfed out by force, Saudi Foreign Minister Adel Al-Jubeir said Tuesday, warning of stepped up support for Syrian rebel groups.

Jubeir rejected Russian calls for an international coalition to help Assad fight the Islamic State group, and said the Syrian leader's best option would be to step down.

"There is no future for Assad in Syria, with all due respect to the Russians or anyone else," Jubeir told reporters in New York after meetings with Saudi Arabia's allies.

"There are two options for a settlement in Syria. One option is a political process where there would be a transitional council," he said, describing this as the "preferred option."

"The other option is a military option, which also would end with the removal of Bashar al-Assad from power," Jubeir warned.

"This could be a more lengthy process and a more destructive process, but the choice is entirely that of Bashar al-Assad."

With all respect, it’s not a theory. The ancient maps co-relate perfectly with the modern maps, and the region shows what we modernly refer to as Turkey.

Also Russia isn’t due North of Jerusalem, remember the earth is round not flat, the location exactly due North therefore of Jerusalem is Ankara, the capital of Turkey.

Better take a look where Moscow is in relation to Jerusalem.

A cheap globe will suffice.

Trust me, you ain’t gonna change my opinion on this. Ever.

But we can still be friends, lol. :)

I addressed that, exactly due North, if one were observing the earth in its entirety suspended in space, exactly due North of Jerusalem is Ankara.

“Trust me, you ain’t gonna change my opinion on this. Ever.”

Well so we’re even because you won’t change my opinion of ABBA either!

Of course we’re still friends :)

After the Russians finish driving the rest of the ISIS terrorists into Western Europe as refuges, they might consider looking south. They would then hold a majority of the world's oil reserves.

Given the few remaining alternatives in our rapidly deteriorating post-American Hegemony world, I'm Rootin' for Putin'!

Good, we'll get to see if those new Russian weapons work as advertised, and if any Saudis will actually be on the field of battle, or just their hirelings.

“Daniel 7:7 After this I kept looking in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrifying and extremely strong”

Nice try, but there no way they had NVGs in the Bible. They didn’t even have tactical streamlights.

This conversation reminded me. Clark Griswold talking about the Moab and the Cananites

Why can’t the House of Saud “go”? Last I recall, it wasn’t 15 of 19 Syrians who flew planes into the WTC, Pentagon, and PA.

What a load of horse dung.

The Russians are going to polish off ISIS. Assad is going to not only survive, but thrive. Putin is going to offer you the same deal and you are going to accept, because your alternative is the spineless fop living at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
