Kerry says Assad must go. Your Thoughts?
Reuters reports that now, after four years of civil war, the displacement of more than 5 million people, more than a quarter million deaths, it’s time to negotiate with Assad to step down from his job as president of Syria. It’s time for negotiation.
Kerry said the United States welcomed Russia’s involvement in tackling the Islamic State in Syria but a worsening refugee crisis underscored the need to find a compromise that could also lead to political change in the country.
“We need to get to the negotiation. That is what we’re looking for and we hope Russia and Iran, and any other countries with influence, will help to bring about that, because that’s what is preventing this crisis from ending,” said Kerry.
We talked the Shah of Iran into stepping down and we put him up on a tropical island paradise. Who knows where the Haitian generals are – we paid them to leave the country and we never heard from them again. I’m sure Assad would have had a cheaper price tag in 2011 when this whole civil war thing began, but now, with all of that death and destruction behind him, it’s a seller’s market. When Assad leaves, all of those loyal government troops will pay for his betrayal of them when he gets bought out.
So, nice timing, Kerry

SGT (Join to see) - When that history is written, we will find out what role did this administration in creating the "JV"
Faded red lines in the sand and the stupidly named "Arab Spring"
How much treasure and lives have we spent to overthrow a government we had no quarrel with.

Assad should have been eliminated LONG LONG ago.
for someone who was a doctor, who took the hypocritical oath "TO DO NO HARM" sure got it all wrong.

SGT Jerrold Pesz, Now I would vote for that. I wouldn't want him to get wounded again and have four Purple Hearts and three silver Stars.

ABCNews 4/1/ 2012 Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said that, despite a newly-brokered cease fire agreement with Syrian President Bashar al Assad, his days as president are numbered as his forces continue the bloody clash with Syrian opposition groups.
"We think Assad must go," Clinton told ABC today after attending the one-day Friends of the Syrian People conference in Istanbul. "The sooner the better for everyone concerned."
Must be something in the State Department water.
