Nikki Haley: Regime change and the end of Assad is Trump's next priority for Syria
Reuters/Business Insider ^ | April 9 2017 | Timothy Gardner

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said in an interview that she sees regime change in Syria as one of the Trump administration's priorities in the country wracked by civil war.

Defeating Islamic State, pushing Iranian influence out of Syria, and the ouster of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad are priorities for Washington, Haley said in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” which will air in full on Sunday.

"It just -- if you look at his actions, if you look at the situation, it's going to be hard to see a government that's peaceful and stable with Assad."

AFP reported:

"We don’t see a peaceful Syria with Assad in there," Haley said.

Regime change in Syria was Obama's policy, by funding the rebels.

Trump told us he rejected regime change.

What in the hell happened to Trump? Was he lying all along?

Or has he simply been surrounded and overwhelmed by the establishment insiders who gave us the Iraq and Libya regime changes that he denounced?

I voted for Trump partly because I didn't want Hillary giving us more regime change wars. Now we have Hillary's foreign policy, with Nikki Haley as its spokeswoman.

I pity the Christians in Syria who will be sitting ducks for the jihadists, the way they were after our regime change war in Iraq.

Ignore the article from the media, Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson explained very well in detail what the Trump admin strategy for dealing with Syria, today on George Steph. Tv show. He made it clear regime change by force is not planned. It was a long interview, so best to get it from ABC TV or youtube.

I feel like I’m seeing the same media and foreign policy narrative that I saw in the Gulf War. Lead by the nose like sheep.

When will we paint the sunni black flag on the tailfins of our F-16s? I remember being told repeatedly that we would be getting out of the regime change business and “destroy ISIS”.
Now 90 days in, its 60 cruise missiles on Syria, zero on ISIS or Al Nusra or other rebel head choppers, and we announce regime change.

Glad we had an election. But... Go Team!!! /s

What in the hell happened to Trump?

The globalists have gotten to him, that's what happened.

DACA still haven't been repealed
Trump letting leftist judges block his travel ban
Bannon on the sidelines while Jared and Ivanka call the shots
Big, fat, inefficient and unconstitutional departments, orgs, and programs still exist
Muslim refugees and illegal aliens are still coming across the border
Sticking our noses into the ME again, a region that's been in turmoil since biblical times

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. The base is going to stay home in 2018, Dems will take over Congress and launch all their impeachment hearings and Obama will run again in 2020 on some bizarre unconstitutional ruling that Roberts will uphold.

Gotta head back to my fellow DUers now, it's Mountain Dew and pizza day in the basement!

Haven't you heard? What Trump is really doing here is sending a message to Kim Jong-Un. Because nothing says, "Cease your nuclear ICBM program now!" like slightly damaging a Syrian airfield with $100 million of U.S. ordnance.

Thanks for injecting some factual input. Tillerson knows more about what Trump has planned than Haley. I hope the hysteria dies down soob.

I don't see Al-Nursa/Al-Qaeda on that list. I'll have to find the direct Haley quote.

Anyway, lists by UN Ambassadors mean something, and the Al-Nurasa folks will notice that they are not on the ouster list.
