Secretary of State John Kerry and Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Anne Patterson met today with Moaz al Khatib, former President of the Syrian Opposition Coalition. Mr. Khatib shared his views on ways to advance a political solution to the crisis in Syria. Secretary Kerry emphasized that Bashar al-Asad is a brutal dictator with no legitimacy to lead Syria.
The Secretary reaffirmed our commitment to pursuing all diplomatic avenues to help bring about a political transition based on the Geneva Principles that leads to an inclusive government and a future of freedom, dignity, and security for the Syrian people. Secretary Kerry and Assistant Secretary Patterson also expressed our deep concern for the humanitarian situation in Syria, including those Syrians displaced or forced to flee Syria as a result of the conflict. They conveyed our strong commitment to continue efforts to alleviate the suffering of Syrians throughout the region.
“Muslim Brotherhood” Patterson?
Kerry and obama mucking up another country— remember it was obama that started threatening to attack Syria and he only backed down awhile because of the Russians. Then obama destabilized Ukraine with the known russian response Now back to syriA ? There’s been tremendous slaughter and.misery already inflicted there. What next?
Wrong, wrong.
Syrian citizens had peaceful protests, Assad had his thugs open fire, went into schools and arrested and interrogated schoolchildren, and has relied on Iranian thugs, Iran’s proxy thugs, and Putin’s weapons and ammo to keep a tenuous hold on a portion of the failed state.
Putin has been trying to reassemble the Soviet Union, and after installing a puppet in Ukraine and holding Stalin-style show trials for the previous legally elected leader, had to watch in surprise as the Ukrainians threw out his puppet who grabbed part of the money he’d looted and ran like the coward he is to hide under Putin’s skirt.
