Kerry Sez He and the Russians Want a Conference on Syria
2013-07-02
Kerry said the two countries both believe the meeting should take sooner rather than later, but acknowledged it might not be possible until August or later.
Allowing some time for local developments.
"Our objective remains the same -- that to recognize the notion that there really isn't a military victory, per se, for Syria that keeps Syria as a country," Kerry said. "And No. 2, that we have an obligation to try to work towards a peaceful resolution because a peaceful settlement is the best way to save the state of Syria and to minimize destruction."

He emphasized that the first international conference called for a transitional government for Syria "with a neutral environment by mutual consent to a full transfer of power."
Wow. Wotta intellect!
The man has a knack for getting p'wned...

#6  Thing, I think would be effective. Include a photo of kerry in his paris longface and lucky hat. "Here is your savior, negotiating surrender before the war is decided. He would not fight for his own country, what makes you think he will fight for you?"

#5  the best way to save the state of Syria and to minimize destruction."

And why is that a desireable goal? I'm sure that chopping it up and giving a piece to the Kurds and a piece to the Alawaites etc. would work out.
Just like the split of Czech and Slovakia.

#4  I imagine Assad is busy putting together brochures of photos of the boat people from the late 70's to show to the AQ rebels in Syria, in order to hasten their collapse.

#1  Must be a tough spot having worked for them before. Acting isn't one of your best skills. Need to get a few sessions in with your Hollyweird friends before the show.
