John Kerry: "Military Pressure May Be Needed To Oust Syria's President "
Last week, after reading a Time article titled "Why Bashar Assad Won’t Fight ISIS" written by a journalist whose recent work includes "The YouTube War", and who sourced two unnamed, anonymous sources to reach the conclusion that Syria's president Assad is in cahoots with ISIS, we made a simple conclusion: "The Stage Is Set For The Syrian Invasion." Barely a week has gone by and the wheels for the Syrian invasion are indeed turning: earlier today, US Secretary of State John Kerry (who one hopes doesn't use kerryemails.com as a work email server) who is on a trip to Saudi Arabia unveiled the next steps when he said that "military pressure may be needed to oust Syria's President Bashar al-Assad."

But wait, wasn't Obama's war in Iraq, authorized by Congress, solely a means to fight the stateless Islamic State of Syria and Iraq "scourge"? Or was all of that merely a pretext to do what the US tried once already in 2013 and failed?
AFP quotes Kerry: "He's lost any semblance of legitimacy, but we have no higher priority than disrupting and defeating Daesh and other terror networks", he told reporters, using an Arabic acronym for the Islamic State group which has seized swathes of Syria and Iraq.
Actually, the highest priority is not "Daesh" which is a populist distraction aided by some truly Hollywood-grade video editing and YouTube clips, but who controls the ground under Assad's feet: that all important gateway from the middle east into Turkey, and then, Europe. A gateway that is critical to the one nation that has all the natural gas in the world, and no end market to sell it to: Qatar.
Of course, Assad knows all of this: late last year, Assad told French reporters, “let’s be honest: Had Qatar not paid money to those terrorists at that time, and had Turkey not supported them logistically, and had not the West supported them politically, things would have been different. If we in Syria had problems and mistakes before the crisis, which is normal, this doesn’t necessarily mean that the events had internal causes”.
Assad continued, daring to call the staged US spade precisely what it was: he called its air strikes "merely cosmetic" and said that “terrorism cannot be destroyed from the air.” Assad added that “saying that the alliance’s airstrikes are helping us is not true." Which is why Time had to spin an unsourced article to "prove" that there was in fact a connection between the two.
Finally, Syria's president explained that Syria was fighting against “not only gangs”, but also states that support them with “billions of dollars.”
All of that is, of course, irrelevant to the top diplomat of one of these "supporting countries", and fast forwarding to today, Kerry told reporters in Saudi Arabia that "ultimately a combination of diplomacy and pressure will be needed to bring about a political transition. Military pressure particularly may be necessary given President Assad's reluctance to negotiate seriously."
Negotiate what exactly: how to hand himself over to the US? And since the answer doesn't matter, whatever it is what the US wants will have to be achieved in the same way that the staged Syrian war of 2013 was presented to the world: using false flag video clips, which resulted in a near-global confrontation involving Assad's close ally over at the Kremlin.
Which brings us to the most important variable: Russia's response to any "military pressure" applied against Assad. Again.
As RT reports, last November, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov commented on the issue, saying that: “Russia condemns the use of extremist groups in efforts to change the regime [in Syria].” Clear, concise and the the point.
Today Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich added some more insight into how it feels about constant Western efforts to provoke a war with Syria:
#Lukashevich: The “moderate opposition” groups have taken a tougher stand at the talks with Damascus, hoping for external assistance #Syria
— MFA Russia (@mfa_russia) March 5, 2015
#Lukashevich: This is an alarming and disappointing stance that is obviously aimed at derailing the nascent trend for peace in #Syria
— MFA Russia (@mfa_russia) March 5, 2015
That last assumes the west is interested in peace in Syria, when the entire point of introducing the ISIS "element" is precisely to destabilize the region and bring it to all out war.
The US-led coalition started air strikes in Syria last September as a part of a joint effort to battle the jihadist group, which had seized Syrian and Iraqi territories. Despite carrying out airstrikes in Syria, Washington has refused to work with the country’s government, stating that it wants to see Bashar Assad ousted.
Turkey backs the position of the US, and in March the two NATO allies began training “moderate” Syrian rebels to battle against the Islamic State militants.
This April, Moscow is set to host a meeting between the Syrian opposition and representatives of the government.
One can be confident that said meeting will achieve nothing, after the US makes it clear that no Moscow-brokered agreement is acceptable. Just as one can be confident that the ISIS "campaign" will continue and get ever closer to Damascus until yet another appropriately-framed YouTube clip appears and leads to another war with Assad. Because when petrodollar interests talk, mere innocent people are always expendable.

Sounds like Kerry has something firmly lodged in his Ass if "military pressure" will be required to remove it
Assad heads a secular Arab Muslim state, Christians are treated as equals incidentally so did a certain S. Hussein, both are b**tards but better than any alternatives I can see. Thus the local Christians who have survived the last 1400 years even during the Crusades are fighting with Assads Muslim soldiers!
Why are we hell bent on destroying secular societies and supporting Saudi, what on earth are they smoking
Hey look Mommy...a talking horse....
"Hey look Mommy...a talking horse" ...'s ASS
Please, Horseface, just KILL YOURSELF!
Obama/Kerry headed for $20T as we speak
one muslim fighting another muslim.
when are you people going to wake up and see how you are getting f*cked over.
how can you be so stupid?
because anyone that takes council, money or whatever from the likes of the ketchup-king, bathhouse-barry, nat'n-yahoo, whores of saud and the other assorted war-mongers must be very, very stupid.
Herman Munster is a joke. I'm ready for war and a stock market crash. Marshmellows and Sig at the ready
Hezbollah must be grinning ear to ear at Kerry and the US govt's stupidly telegraphed intentions to finally invade Syria and stop pretending to 'fight ISIS'. It is the excuse they have been waiting for an all out attack on Israel, and where Israel will have no option but to invade Lebanon.
So here will be a scenario where muslim countries will be invaded by infidels on 2 fronts, inflaming the Arab street in the gulf puppet states and in Egypt, while Iran will get the cue to activate its Shia sleeper cells inside Saudi Arabia and the gulf to start insurrection while the US is distracted with invading Syria. How brilliant! What was that original US intent again? To help Qatar sell gas to Europe? Qatar may not even exist by the time this conflagration ends..bye bye 2022 world cup. As usual, everything the US touches turns into shit.
The US wants gas from Qatar to run through Syria for supply to the West. This stymies Russia's plans to do the same for Iranian oil/gas. Everything is about energy and the US is desperate now that fracking is no longer a viable option. Of course the West could make friends with Putin and get a good deal on their enegy - but that would mean treating Russia as an equal partner -no way!!!
John Kerry is the poster boy for PROGRESSIVES, just like his buddy, Joh Corzine. Progressive propaganda would have you believe the offical policy is unicorns shitting skittles dancing and singing kumbaya. Yeah, right.
Real progressive policy is murder and theft and here it is, from the horseface mouth:
"AFP quotes Kerry: "He's lost any semblance of legitimacy, but we have no higher priority than disrupting and defeating Daesh and other terror networks", he told reporters, using an Arabic acronym for the Islamic State group which has seized swathes of Syria and Iraq."
That is NOT a constitutional conservative, is it? Nope, you know the constitutional conservative would be advocating non-intervention and no war, murder and theft. No American troops overseas and no American taxpayer money involved in any of that middle east shit.
Progressives are the big government WARMONGERS stealing all your money and killing everybody. Blood thirsty motherf**king progressives. And before you start with the "neocon" sh*t remember neocons are twisted LEFT to the progressive big government criminal side of things.
John Kerry is going to tax the f**k out of YOU, ya progressive assclown cheerleaders, for MOAR WOAR while he avoids paying taxes on his yacht and lord know what else.
The progressive STUPID, it burns, doesn't it?

"AFP quotes Kerry: "He's lost any semblance of legitimacy, but we have no higher priority than disrupting and defeating Daesh and other terror networks";
What Kerry also omited from the 'press'; ISIS is controlled by Sen John McCain and two Generals; McNierny and Valley!
