US no longer focused on removing Assad from power
2017-03-31
[ALMASDARNEWS] The United States (U.S.) is no longer actively seeking to remove Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
Despoiler of Deraa...
from power, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations
...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks...
(U.N.) Nikki Haley
...first woman to serve as Governor of South Carolina, and the second Indian-American governor in the country, after Bobby Jindal of Louisiana. At the age of 39, Haley is the youngest current governor in the U.S., a distinction formerly held by Jindal. She is a Republican, which really grates on the Dems...
told a group of news hounds on Thursday.

"You pick and choose your battles and when we’re looking at this, it’s about changing up priorities and our priority is no longer to sit there and focus on getting Assad out," U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley stated, as reported by the Rooters News Agency.
They had a legitimate uprising against a dictatorship. It drew every filthy sandlouse from thousands of miles around, trying to impose a solution that's worse than the problem. The Syrian revolution was lost the instant an Islamist anus ate the heart out of a dead Syrian soldier.
"Do we think he’s a hindrance? Yes. Are we going to sit there and focus on getting him out? No," she said. "What we are going to focus on is putting the pressure in there so that we can start to make a change in Syria."

#2   so that we can start to make a change in Syria."

There's an informationally dense construct....NOT.

Exactly what change do you want and why will it be an improvement? Obubbles got us into a big mess and we can't get out without some measure of cleanup first. I don't know what to do but putting our troops on the ground ain't it.

Do what's necessary to insure Israel's safety and then let's see what the neighbors have to say and are willing to do.
