While the Syria conflict appears headed into the sunset, the state department reminds once again that it wants more:
- U.S., RUSSIA AGREE END GOAL FOR SYRIA IS POLITICAL ACCORD:PSAKI
- RUSSIA PLAN FOR SYRIA MORE 'IDEAS' THAN 'LENGTHY PACKET': PSAKI
- U.S. HAS LARGER SYRIA STRATGY BEYOND CHEMICAL ARMS: PSAKI
And the punchline:
- WE STILL FEEL ASSAD NEEDS TO BE REMOVED FROM POWER: PSAKI
The last was added just in case anyone is confused that the Syrian campaign was even remotely about chemical weapons. Of course, should said weapons be contained, it will be enough to spin a "diplomatic victory" and promptly forget this whole episode at least until the next false flags strikes some time over the next few weeks through months. Maybe something like this:
- DEATH TOLL FROM BOMBING OUTSIDE SHI'ITE MOSQUE IN BAGHDAD RISES TO 33 - POLICE, MEDICS
Recall: The Next Hot Zone - Iraq? [3]
