John Kerry: "We Would Prefer That Russia Is Not Supplying Assistance To Syria"
Following up on the earlier report that Israel had warned the US that Russia was preparing to sell "advanced" military equipment to Syria (in False Flag Broken Telephone fashion), it was only a matter of time before the new US Secretary of State voiced his indignation over a development whereby someone else was providing arms to a conflict country's government, instead of the US providing its own weapons to said country's Al Qaeda-assisted rebel forces. Sure enough, he did: "I think we have made it crystal clear that we would prefer that Russia is not supplying assistance," Mr. Kerry said at a news conference after meeting the new Italian Foreign Minister Emma Bonino." While there was no immediate quote substantiating it, there is a rumor that Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov's response was a less than politically correct phrasing along the lines that he "would prefer that the US not supply assistance to Syrian rebels."
Secretary of State John Kerry said the transfer of advanced missile defense systems from Russia to Syria could potentially destabilize Israel's security, as he announced new humanitarian aid for Syria.
Mr. Kerry said the U.S. has expressed concerns about what the S-300 batteries in Syria would mean for Israel's security. He wouldn't address what the missiles might mean for Syria's civil war.
Speaking to reporters in Rome Thursday, the secretary of state stressed the U.S. would prefer Russia not to provide military assistance to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The Wall Street Journal reported that Russia was preparing to sell the weapons to Mr. Assad's regime, saying Israel had warned the U.S.
Mr. Kerry also praised Moscow for helping try to organize peace talks on Syria.
"I think we have made it crystal clear that we would prefer that Russia is not supplying assistance," Mr. Kerry said at a news conference after meeting the new Italian Foreign Minister Emma Bonino.
Mr. Kerry also announced Thursday that the U.S. would provide $100 million in new funds aimed at providing humanitarian aid for Syria. He said the funds were "another step forward," in helping support refugees and civilians trapped in the spiral of violence inside Syria.
And the reason why America is beloved all over the world:
Mr. Kerry also reiterated that Mr. Assad cannot be part of any transitional government in the country. "The foreign minister will work with us, as they have, to try to bring all the parties to the table so that we can effect a transition government by mutual consent on both sides, which clearly means that, in our judgment, President Assad will not be a component of that transitional government," he said.
Or, in other words, popular opinion abroad is irrelevant if and when the US has spoken what it believes is best in order to "liberate" said popular opinion.

Guess Israel will have to wait until Iranian missles end up in Lebanon to take em out.
Then the SHTF and Syria becomes a sideshow.
Ahhh....I remember back in the early eighties when Johnny-boy was simply fucking cub reporters in the back of his car in Chicopee.
You have come a long way, baby.
What a maroon.
The Syrian regime and its hodge-podge of minorities inconviences Sunni manifest destiny, and gets in the way of its primary provider of arms and money, the U S of A.

Exclusive: Turkish PM Erdogan: Syria has crossed red line, used chemical weapons
http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/05/09/18148044-exclusive-turkish...
I guess this prick didnt get the memo...
I thought the UN report said it was the rebels who used chemical weapons!
Any guess as to who they got them from?
"The American government attempted to blame Iran for the chemical weapons attack on Iraq’s Kurds … just as the U.S. is trying to blame the Syrian government for the attacks in Syria." -- George Washington (blog)

he is a liar of first degree.
Sex and travel Coffin Head!
Hussein Obama's seriously delusional. Perhaps even dangerously so. Which is precisely why no one in the international community takes him or his regime seriously.
Kerry. We would prefer if you WOULD SHUT YOU FUCKING PIE HOLE
He's lying. His family has been providing weapons to both sides of the conflict for over 400 years.
Reporting for duty as a douche
It’s probably not possible for America to survive as a free country if one more Middle Eastern war is fought for the benefit of Israel. Why? Because there will be no chance of overturning the banking cartel that uses Israeli foreign police as its military arm.
The problem for Kerry is the U.S./Israeli rebel idea has not worked out. The rebels have turned out to be completely irresponsible and unable to overcome the Syrian forces except in certain areas. There’s nothing new here. In order to placate Israel, the U.S. always says it would prefer to have Assad leave. But, in the end, the rebels may not be able to over take him…and there’s a growing awareness in the world that what the rebels want is an Islamic dictatorship whereby they lock down the entire country.
There’s only one definition of Syria; and that definition is Iran. The only reason we’re there and lying about it is that Syria’s best friend is Iran. And in order to approach control of Iran, the US aka Israel aka International Bankers, needs to knock down the Assad regime.
Shit, another by-proxy war.
I hate it when they do that.
It seems so....well...unamerican.

Whatever happened in North Korea?
they huffed and they puffed and then went wee wee wee all the way back home...
KimDong's buffing up his Psy imitations
"Whatever happened in North Korea?"
Planting season began:
(Reuters, April 9, 2013)
http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/04/09/us-korea-north-military-idUSBRE93814F20130409
(Reuters) - As a North Korean army signaler near the tense sea border with the South, Lee So-yeon was given live ammunition and a steel helmet during a 1993 crisis, but soon found herself back doing what she and her comrades did most - farming.
It's a vital service in a country where millions cannot find enough to eat.
That crisis 20 years ago - Pyongyang announced it was quitting a global nuclear pact - eventually passed. For hundreds of thousands of soldiers now fired up for the possibility of war by Pyongyang's propaganda machine, Lee said spring planting would soon become the top priority.
Several other North Korean army defectors said nothing had changed since Lee was a signaler, suggesting Pyongyang might soon tone down its rhetoric against Washington and Seoul so its soldiers can sow rice, cabbage, beans, corn, potatoes and onions.
"North Korea can't farm without the army ... The North Korean army's main job is malnutrition eradication," said Kim Na-young, a North Korean female army defector who spent five years until 1996 in an army unit on the east coast and came to South Korea in late 2008.
Jang Jin-sung, a former North Korean government propagandist who defected in 2004 and runs a defector publication in Seoul, said the military had not changed over the decades.
"They are doing the same work and the same duties," he said.
DRILL ENDS, PLANTING STARTS

Strong fucking statement..delivered with conviction! I'll bet Putin is trembling in his shoes...Ya think Obama will ever declare a red line again? Fuck no, and Putin knows it. We are the panty waste laughing stock of the world right now. No one takes us seriously and they laugh at how fucked up this country has become.
Since Kerry likely got cut by his own rapier wit, I wonder if he will receive another purple heart?
Or, as Hilarity would say.... What difference does it make?
nah, they just gave him a new chaff bag.

Kerry is just reiterating the same NWO line rephrased to fit his lower level in the pyramid like a good little goat
I would prefer that our government not support Islamic fascist like we see with the Syrian Al-Qaeda. If that were the case John Kerry your Libyan ambassador would still be alive. Benghazi, Libya and what is happening in Syria are the same foreign policy mistakes that started with the so called Arab Spring back in Egypt. This amounts to the outright support of the Muslim Brotherhood who are the same group that spawned Al-Qaeda and Al-Zawahiri. This administrations foreign policy is getting Catholics and nonMuslims all over the Middle East either displaced or killed. Don't just take my own word for it. Do your own research.
"Our" government? LOL
Your masters thank you for your support, as without people like you, they could never pull of their desire to divide and conquer.
The sooner you realize that we are all slaves, the sooner this whole mess makes perfect sense.
Here's a clue: WWIII is being engineered before our eyes. By the time it blows up, everyone will believe it was unavoidable. The outcome will leave no nation state in a position of strength. Then the globalizers emerge with their grand plan.
Bretton Woods 2.0
Did that come off like I'm supporting our morally deprived government and for the record I am slave to no one. I might add the big one started a long time ago as far as the Muslim Brotherhood is concerned because they have infiltrated this administration and government from top to bottom.

re: "as far as the Muslim Brotherhood is concerned because they have infiltrated this administration and government from top to bottom."
Jesus H. Christ! Are you really fucking serious?
Are you referring to the Pritzkers, Crowns, Axlerods, Emmanuels, Lews, Genslers, Shapiros, Plouffes, Schapiros, Sperlings, Borrins, Simons, Lynns, Kagans, Orszags, Summers, Sutphens, Steinbergs, etc., etc., etc.?
Give me some Muslim infiltrator names please...
Kerry still thinks that people take him seriosuly? Ha!
It is amazing how they just keep going despite the UN finding that the rebels are using chemical weapons. The red line was crossed by the fucking "rebels"!
This whole thing has been planned by US/EU/NATO for years. I heard a NATO guy saying over a year ago that they had Syria coming up. He probably wasn't supposed to be saying it, but it was an unguarded moment.
Hell, Wesley Clark even said it.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8YtF76s-yM
A war mongering genocidal and homicidal maniac of a Supreme Allied Commander of NATO, who has never even apologized for what he done, much less been held accountable, yet he seems to have acquired a cult-following among the anti-establishment sheeple.
Smedley Butler - he ain't.
The Jihadi Contras use chemical weapons but it's Assad that has to go! Surreal shit.
If there was ever a situation pointing to the high water mark of this entire corrupt, diseased Zionist empire, then the assault on the Syrian people & state is it.
I would like to thank all the posters on zero hedge for providing a laugh in this time of enormous insanity. I gave out a record number of upvotes. You guys are in rare form today. Bravo.
I would prefer that Mr Kerry would not make stupid comments. But, there we go.
I'm still waiting for some kickass 'Banzai artwork involving a riverine patrol craft, Johnnyswiftboat 'I'm Hit!!' Kerry and the Choomgunner himself...
The presence of the S-300 batteries in Damascus might force NATO to launch a ground attack on the eastern outskirts of Damascus from the northern Jordanian border, along which it has been arrayed since the beginning of the present war in Syria. This move may be complemented by means of an Israeli concentration of forces on the Golan heights, in order to force most Syrian forces to remain assigned to the western outskirts of Damascus, or else the Israeli forces could move on Damascus, thus complementing the NATO-Jordanian prong towards a pincer movement on Damascus. Details here: http://essential-intelligence-network.blogspot.com/2013/05/syria-conventional-war.html
Yes but the Russian and Chinese forces can do an outflanking move at Megeddo, and ..wait ..this will not be good.
What PUTIN really said to his foreign minister Sergei Lavrov, "Next time, make sure that I make that fucking CUNT wait 7 hours instead."

And the American People would prefer that these babylonians in the places of elected servitude would stop spending American Tax Dollars on mercenary armies (al-cia-duh/rebels) that raid, kill, and murder people in foreign countries Mr Kerry. The American people know you support and armed these al-cia-duh/rebel mercenaries with the chemical weapons from Libya and Egypt for use in Syria. That is what Benghazigate is all about.
Just because you are a skull and bones man and your whole agenda is about WAR and the support of your skully folks at home who profit from MOAR WAR, it dose not mean you have to tell the Russians they should not send weapons to Syria. Everybody knows that if you have a bonesman in the place of war making, there WILL BE WAR! People en mass will die, and a small few will profit from all the evil death and destruction.
...ummmmm...you mean Khazarians...bonesmen have been co-opted YEARS ago by AKs... who replaced them at ivy league about 40 years ago... sorry...
I think he is trying to publicly apply for mental disability pension.
Kerry is a tool and just another clown in the three ring circus that is this administration...
@" "I think we have made it crystal clear that we would prefer that Russia is not supplying assistance," Mr. Kerry said.
this sentence does not comport to the grammatical standards normally
associated with the English language, not even American slang standards;
it is neither clear nor crystal clear or poetic to my ear.
it seems like he is trying to wish, with crystal clarity, the real
world of geo-political interests assumed by real people with real
survival needs not exist in reality and could be "preferred" out
of existence by the improper use of the word "is", "crystal clear" and
"prefer".
he could have said..." why don't we just pretend that, in this particular
case, we can prosecute a proxy war using Rumsfeld's "dead enders" assisted
by Israel (don't bring that up again, al-ciada allied with Israel), to
install another puppet government in the region to do the bidding on a
local level of the multi-national corporations and banking, debt slave
based, failing global system. and ...and .. there is no reason for anyone
to take notice or object, especially the b.r.i.c.s., they love our federal
reserve debt notes just as well as the American taxpayer is required to, no?
oh wait, not really.
what did mr. hicks say? quoting ? " this is the first time I have seen
someone in the diplomatic corp. displaying more balls that the military."
something like that in regards cancelled benghazi rescue effort.
the meaning, words mean nothing, stalin was right, power comes from
the end of the barrel of a gun. so, why have diplomats or language
skills as they may pertain to markets or negotiation or communication
involving more that communication of demands? it is clearly de-evolutionary
and oh so popular and seductive and pervasive. and other things I do not
care to mention as the comments soon become degrading and ...foul, etc..
.
it has been too long, way too long since the state department and the
diplomats have actually attempted to use language, diplomacy or any
rational market based arrangement that has a component of mutual benefit.
conclusion, the state department is rusty and inept when it comes to
civil communication skills. they appear to be more accustomed to weapons
and death threats and executions, not to mention torture and imprisonment.
source problem ....debt based money over time and internal fraud and usury
at the root.
oh, I think Ellen is on, love that women ! gotta go.
.
"prefer". prefer? is this some kind of diplomatically coded tough guy talk?
.
who is doing the bulk of the stacking today?
Fascism is the philosophy of using violence as a first resort, to achieve state policy aims.
Words are thus surplus to requirement, except for where MSM sound bite needs must be furnished, towards the efficient operation of the State lie-support apparatus.
This resulting lack of emphasis on words accounts for the deterioration in the standards of formal diplomatic language within communiques.
i.e. actions speak louder than words.
@"Fascism is the philosophy of using violence as a first resort, to achieve state policy aims."...
.
the question then arises regarding the level of resistance to policy aims
and whether violence will accomplish or plow the ground of the aim.
here one must ask "what is the aim"?
the "economy" has established that to be preparation for
eternal and continuous violence of a greater and more
efficient potential.
they said " when the whales do battle the shrimp suffer ".
I say " when the machines do battle the humans die " .
the state exists to support the machines?

A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
And no one can talk to a horse of course
That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Ed.
Go right to the source and ask the horse
He'll give you the answer that you'll endorse.
He's always on a steady course.
Talk to Mr. Ed.
People yakkity yak a streak and waste your time of day
But Mister Ed will never speak unless he has something to say.
A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
And this one'll talk 'til his voice is hoarse.

Sec.of State John Kerry's Legacy is one of Treason to His Country & Betrayal of our POW/MIAs
http://chasvoice.blogspot.com/2013/03/sec-of-state-john-kerrys-legacy-is...
I'm sure Russia would prefer that the US piss off back to their side of the planet.
Russia is not opposed to Assad's rule, but the US wants him gone, what else is there to say.
well now that's just to damn bad for you...
isn't it John?
by the way, I would "prefer" if you would shut the hell up and never be seen seen or heard from again...
along with all the other parasites that inhabit DC.
but I guess none of us are going to get what we would prefer are we?
I do however hope that Russia goes through with this sale and also parks a couple of s-400 batteries in Tartus just for good measure.
then dares Israel or NATO to to try to establish a no fly zone...
not because I'm a fan of Russia, but because I just hate you smug, arrogant, pubic trough feeding bastards that much.
it would be nice to see your self - important delusions of grandeur go up in flames.
Mr Kerry
We prefer that you go live in another country.Like the one you and the administration are trying to build say.........North Korea.
Im quite sure we can get you some lunch money and a one way ticket.
I would love and pay big money to see Mr Putin physically take Our Criminal cartel and beat their ass to a pulpy substance.
We are such hypocrites:
http://www.businessweek.com/ap/2013-04-08/us-clears-way-to-arm-train-somali-forces
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama cleared the way Monday for the U.S. to arm and train Somali forces, taking a step toward normal relations with the East African nation as it works to build confidence in its newly recognized government.
In a memo to Secretary of State John Kerry, Obama said he has determined that supplying defense equipment and services "will strengthen the security of the United States and promote world peace." The move doesn't immediately provide new assistance to Somalia, but allows Kerry to consider taking that step in the future.
Somalia is trying to preserve fragile progress toward establishing its first functional government after two decades of chaos. The U.S. formally recognized the African nation's new government in January — the first time the U.S. had recognized a Somali government since 1991, when warlords overthrew longtime dictator Siad Barre and then turned on one another.
"The United States is committed to being a long-term partner in assisting the defense forces in Somalia defense to become a professional military force," said National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden.
A relative peace has returned to Somalia's war-battered capital of Mogadishu since African Union forces ousted al-Shabab — a militant group loosely associated with al-Qaida — from the city over 18 months ago. But al-Shabab rebels are not yet defeated, and the U.S. remains concerned about the threat the group could pose to the region's stability. The U.S. designated al-Shabab a terrorist group in 2008.
...
There you have it. By arming and training a "professional military force" of Somalian rebels (but they are on our side!) we are going to "promote world peace." Afghanistan, anyone?
Sometimes it seems like we are living in a backwards world, and this brings to mind Kurt Vonnegut's classic book, Slaughterhouse Five, and Billy's 'backwards movie'. For those interested in a really profound bit of writing, here is a link:

+1 for the Slaughterhouse Five reference.
This is maybe just me, but, Kerry is flying to Moscow and meeting Putin. Shows you were the power center is.
Sequester at home, $100,000,000 abroad, cool.
This is all barking, not biting. I will just sit back, relax, and watch the dog show. Russia won't bite but they've been supporting Syria in this cause for awhile so they at least have to bark, for perception's sake. I'm pretty sure we made a deal. I'm also pretty sure that if we hadn't made a deal Russia would be dropping bombs on Isreal right now. What are they waiting for? I know, the end of the conflict. Call me when Russia drops a bomb. Syria already has Russian weapons, this is nothing new.
Woof woof!
History may not repeat, but it sure does rhyme. This is right from the pages of the Cold War - just insert Korea, Vietnam, or any of the smaller conflicts fueled by Russia arming one side and the US arming the other.
Perpetual war is the object.
Mr. Kerry, we salute you for your prevarications.
Kerry is Secretary of State? I'll have Heinz 57 with that joke.
we are at our best when attacking others.
where did this policy come from?
sorry but it transcends obama - he just does a particularly bad job of pretending
Why not supply the rebels with attack jets? Assad shops at Altey-Almaz for all his air defense needs, and his S-300's are lethal. Plenty of broken airplane windows to help out our economy!

Doing Gods work ain't easy.
And I would prefer that John "Say buddy, can you spare a Purple Heart?" Kerry would kindly STFU.
The US is so used to betraying its allies (mainly under Democrats) it can't understand why Russia won't do the same thing. Russia will not be yielding to the US which has become a bully to small countries but afraid to take on countries with real muscle.
Well, to tell the whole truth, Bush wasn't so loyal to its allies either, was he? I see no big difference between Democrats and Republicans. But that's just me, from abroad.
True, Bazza. We have bred a generation of mind controlled 60s permissive brats who would scam for anything, so they can party on...at the heel of Rothschild Zionism and the old banking and monarchy families of Britain and Europe.
The true Republics need to get off their knees and expose the scams and lies at the highest levels of our erstwhile governments, the paid pets of the old international financiers and their monarchies, including their paedophile Vatican.
Skull & Bones John Kerry, if I may gently add.
I would prefer that the US government which I pay for did not supply assistance to Syrian 'rebels', and destabilise the region for the profit of Rothschild Zionism which has nothing to do with American jews, nor anyone else, except the international banksters of old Europe, Britain and the Vatican who are hateful greedy money grubbing warmonger 'globalists', as per the psychopathic agenda of the Trilateral Commission, and their Nazi ways.
