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."

That’s for sure.
The Saudis want their blue-eyed infidels to take out the nasty Assad.
They’ve had enough!
The Gulf states and the Saudis want to build a pipeline to Europe and Russia does not want them to. Russia’s friend Assad stands in their way. Most of the weapons ISIS has that they didn’t get from us (both captured and supplied) were funded by the Gulf States and the Saudis. ISIS has grown out of control and now threatens the Kingdom itself.
I have had a suspicion for quite some time that America was taking it’s marching orders from Saudi Arabia.
There are no moderate rebels in Syria. McCain believes that fiction too.
Where does Israel fit into this up-coming slug fest?
Armageddon, yes no, anyone?
Supporting the Syrian rebels is the same as supporting ISIS. This is going to be a world war.
Yep.
Invade some 2 cent dictator and leave the LARGEST terrorist supporting country alone. i know those private files point to Saudss having a part in it.
I get so disgusted.
And a THIRD bush wants to be pres!!!
who the hell do they think they are?
I guess it’s the US teaming up with ISIS and Saudi Arabia against Russia and China.
There ... I fixed it for ya.
“Saudi Arabia should have ceased to exist after 9/11.”
In an ideal world it would have and it should have.
The only reasons that anyone lets Saudi Arabia get away with their sponsorship of international terrorism is the oil and they can bribe pretty much anyone with the filthy lucre, these things trump both morals and justice.
Send your shit in Saudis, cowards
I would support bombing Mecca and a full invasion of Saudi Arabia, centres of wickedness.
Not a nuclear thing though, just carpet-bombing and a land invasion to take control.
Don’t forget Iran would love to see Saudi Arabia taken out.
Whatever works. Dead is dead.
“with all due respect to the Russians”
