View Full Version : U.S. Diplomats Rebuke Obama On Syria And Call For Strikes On Assad......
Oh my.....the State Dept is Rebuking BO peep. Hillary's people still there must think they can get away with that, huh? What do you think is going on with this issue of publicly telling BO peep he screwed up and then tells him to call for Military Strikes against Assad. Telling the peep to involve the US in a civil war. What say ye?
More than 50 State Department diplomats have signed an internal memo sharply critical of U.S. policy in Syria, calling for military strikes against President Bashar al-Assad’s government to stop its persistent violations of a civil war ceasefire.
The “dissent channel cable” was signed by 51 mid- to high-level State Department officers involved with advising on Syria policy.
The cable calls for “targeted military strikes” against the Syrian government in light of the near-collapse of the ceasefire brokered earlier this year, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing copies of the cable it had seen.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Friday that the memo was an “important statement” that he would discuss when he returned to Washington.
While dissent cables are not unusual, the number of signatures on the document is extremely large.....snip~

Why the Clinton Foundation or whats left of it is all she will be running. They can't do anything about Syria.
But now why do you think those on BO's Team want to get involved in Syria's Civil War?

Sounds like the State Dept is a bit rogue.
I'd be interesting to see the "list" of officials who support striking Assad.
All we need is to weaken Assad, which would strengthen ISIS and piss of Russia royally.

Still quite a few of Hillary's people are in there running things and I am sure they would do whatever it takes to try and get the FBI off of their backs and the IC. Especially with all that hacking that's taken place there......with them and them being the cause of how hackers got to other areas in the government. Including the WH.
Which now we know how much more the hackers were able to increase their successes all due to Hillary and her Aides doing whatever they wanted.

Sounds like Hillary's people. If she wins -- we can expect a huge increase in war activities.
CNN puts it in an odd way. Says the State Dept. is PROTESTING US policy. Protesting? It doesn't even appear that Kerry knew until they had the signatures.
This is a very, very interesting story.
(CNN)More than 50 State Department officials signed an internal memo protesting U.S. policy in Syria (http://cnn.com/specials/middleeast/syria), calling for targeted U.S. military strikes against the regime of Bashar al-Assad (http://cnn.com/2016/02/16/middleeast/syria-assad-ceasefire-doubts/) and urging regime change as the only way to defeat ISIS.

Did it ever occur to anyfuckingone in the government that if we can't even figure out which side to kill we likely should not be there?
AS I have said repeatedly , there is not ony single trustworty faction in Syria, and barely any in the whole region. Even if the people we suppport this week were catapaulted into power they would still be barbaric assholes. THERE IS NO WIN. But there is a "lets get the fuck out of here"

Good morning, There is no Civil War in Syria. If we were to do anything in Syria it should be at the invitation of the Syrian government.
Hillary saying "Assad must go" . She is just a monster in a foreign country aiding killers to attack the Syrian people. They/she has done this with our money. No way to make friends is Syria.

Well, they didn't know BO peep would confuse things more and not name enemies. But you are correct, there is no good to come out of removing Assad now. He is the only one left not interested with turning Syria into a Sharia Governed Country.

Are you saying that BO peep and his sheep are a hopeless case then? :grin:
CNN reviewed a draft of the memo, which has since been classified. The Wall Street Journal first reported (http://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-state-department-officials-call-for-strikes-against-syrias-assad-1466121933) on the memo's existence.
The internal memo was sent throughout the "dissent channel," a mechanism for State Department officials to offer alternative views on foreign policy without freedom from retaliation or retaliation. It was established in the 1960s during the Vietnam War to ensure that senior leadership in the department would have access to alternative policy views on the war.
Speaking aboard Air Force One Friday, White House spokeswoman Jennifer Friedman said Obama was "aware" of the memo but hadn't read it.....snip~

Attacking Assad was a mistake to begin with. These officials are off their rockers.

But now why do you think those on BO's Team want to get involved in Syria's Civil War? They're being bribed by Saudi Arabia, which realizes that Syria is a key linchpin in the Shiites' goal to encircle and conquer Mecca.

More from Business Insider. :wink:
An 'embarrassing' break: Dozens of State Department officials just revolted against Obama's Syria policy
The administration insists that it has maintained throughout the nearly five-year civil war that Assad "must go." But that stance has been muddled as the administration continues to soften its position on Assad's future (http://www.businessinsider.com/john-kerry-regime-change-syria-bashar-assad-2015-12).
"The US' Syria policy has always been in the head of one man, and one man only: Barack Obama. No one else has ever really had a say in what happens in Syria," Tony Badran, a Middle East expert and researcher at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told Business Insider in a previous interview. (http://www.businessinsider.com/chuck-hagel-obama-syria-policy-2015-12)
"Obama has owned it since day one — and from day one, he never intended to remove Assad," he said.....snip~

They should empower Assad to hunt the Islamists down and put them in plastic shredders like Saddam use to do.
