Secretary of State John Kerry just gave Syria a hard deadline for starting the political transition to get rid of Syrian President Bashar Assad: Aug. 1.

Kerry told reporters Tuesday if Syria doesn’t begin the process of removing Assad by Aug. 1, there will be serious consequences, The Associated Press reports.

“If Assad does not adhere to this, there will clearly be repercussions,” Kerry said. “One of them may be the total destruction of the cease-fire and then go back to war. I don’t think Russia wants that. I don’t think Assad is going to benefit from that. There may be even other repercussions being discussed. That is for the future.”

Kerry Draws Red Line, Says Syria Better Start Removing Assad By Aug 1

The very definition of "pissing in the wind".

[lacrew]

The same people who wailed that Saddam posed no real threat to the US suddenly believe Assad does? And their willing to sabre rattle against Russia over it?

What the hell is our interest in Syria?...and hasn’t our meddling done nothing but get tens of thousands of people killed?

I bet he learned to talk rough like this in Vietnam Nam.

[Mr. M.J.B.]

I believe this time it is different.

I base this on recent news reports, election cycle timing and the date Kerry chose, bein hametzarim.

Rome, er, the US, has had a multi-year three alarm hardon for killing Assad and overthrowing Syria - literally running ISIS and deploying Special Farces, with more added very recently. No one asks ‘why’ or what is the ultimate goal of the CIA’s Operation Arab Spring.

What is the urgent National Security interest?

How will CIA-backed ISIS and Special Farces troops in a covert war achieve this National Security interest? When?

The traitor kerry is quick to out US troops at risk.

“And if Assad is NOT removed, what is the next move? Or IS there is a “next move”?

I know, Kerry and Obama will send Threasa Kerry and Moochelle over, boy that will do it. Just when I think this administration can’t get any dumber, it proves me wrong.

“I see a title for a new book: The Drones of August.”

Kerry’s making a speech in August?

[SunkenCiv]

This is just empty-sack saber-rattling, meant to benefit Hitlery's campaign. Thanks rktman.

Kerry’s making a speech in August?

Undoubtedly yes, but that would be different book:

The Drone Who Wouldn't Shut Up, or maybe

The Drone Who Fought in Viet Nam

[Heart-Rest]

"or, what..."

Or, no more dancing!

[Chode]
