The messages coming from Kerry and the Administration are totally Orwellian and inversions of the truth that it is impossible to make out any coherent policy other than preparation for war.
"Why Bashar Assad Won’t Fight ISIS" !!!!
To say that ousting Bashar Assad while pretending to wage war against an ISIS that was given birth to and succoured by America and its allies it is necessary to pretend that he is not fighting ISIS. Next, we will hear that Assad and ISIS are the same?!
This is doing my head in.
Meanwhile the neo-cons prepare for war with Russia in Ukraine as well as pushing for a state coup in Moscow.
Tell me otherwise.

John
Kerry: "Military Pressure May Be Needed To Oust Syria's
President "
5
March, 2015
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:
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.
‘Military
pressure’ may be needed to oust Syrian President – John Kerry
5
March, 2015
US
Secretary of State John Kerry has declared that military pressure may
be needed to oust Syria’s President Bashar Assad. It comes as
knowledge has emerged that the US, along with Turkey, has started
training Syrian rebels.
“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,” Kerry
said at a Thursday meeting of Gulf foreign ministers at Riyadh Air
Base, according to AFP.
“He’s
lost any semblance of legitimacy, but we have no higher priority than
disrupting and defeating Daesh and other terror networks,” he
added, using “Daesh” –
an Arabic acronym for the Islamic State group (formerly known as
ISIS/ISIL) that has seized large territories in Syria and Iraq.
Last
December, President 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”.
Syria’s
president criticized the actions of the US-led coalition targeting
the militants in Syria. 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.”
What’s
more, he explained that Syria was fighting against “not
only gangs”,
but also states that support them with “billions
of dollars.”

A
civil uprising in Syria broke out in the spring of 2011, falling in
line with Arab Spring protests and composing high-profile nationwide
protests against the government of President Bashar Assad. The
conflict which grew into a war has taken lives of 210,278-295,278
people, according to February estimates by the Syrian Observatory for
Human Rights.
This
April, Moscow is set to host a meeting between the Syrian opposition
and representatives of the government.
Exclusive:
Syrian armys gains more grounds in fight against militants
Slowly
but steadily the Syrian military units are pressing ahead in south of
the country gaining more grounds in their fight against the
militants.The battle against foreign back insurgents in this area
echoes far beyond these little towns that connects three Syrian
regions: Qunaiter , Dara’ and Damascus countryside.
Exclusive:
Syrian army, Hezbollah fighters purge militants from more areas
This
road leads to south of Syria, where clashes are intensifying by day.
Today Press TV’s team headed to a front line where Syrian army
troops have made significant advances. A string of towns and their
overlooking hills are the newly-secured areas around Damascus and
Dara’a.
Photos prove cooperation
between Israel and al-Nusra

Press
TV has obtained photos showing al-Qaeda-linked militants next to
Israeli soldiers in the occupied Golan Heights.
New
photos from the Golan Heights further prove Tel Aviv’s support for
al-Qaeda-linked militants, especially al-Nusra Front, that have been
wreaking havoc in Syria.
The
photos obtained by Press TV show Takfiri militants from the terrorist
al-Nusra Front next to Israeli soldiers.
Israel
is known to have been providing medical, intelligence and military
support for militants fighting to topple the government of President
Bashar al-Assad in Syria. A number of militant commanders wounded in
government attacks on terrorist have reportedly been hospitalized in
the occupied territories.
The
images obtained by Press TV shows Israeli soldiers speaking
face-to-face with militants in Golan.
Cooperation
aimed at targeting resistance
The
Israeli military’s close cooperation with the militants also
assisted the regime’s bombing of a convoy belonging to Lebanese
resistance group Hezbollah on January 17. The attack led to the
killing of six Hezbollah members as well as an Iranian general.
Hezbollah later announced that the attack was coordinated between Tel
Aviv and the al-Nusra militants.
“The
assault has revealed the degree of cooperation between Takfiris and
Israel,” Sheikh Naim Qassem, Hezbollah deputy leader, said during a
ceremony seven days after the Israeli attack in Qunaitra, an area
close to the Syrian Israeli border.
Late
last year, a UN report confirmed contact between militants in Syria
and the Israeli army across the Golan cease-fire line, especially
during heavy clashes between the terrorists and the Syrian troops.
The
report also confirmed that militants had been taking their wounded
comrades into the Israeli-occupied part of the Golan Heights for
treatment. The UN also confirmed the delivery of boxes by the Israeli
army to militants on the Syrian side of the ceasefire line.
