Doran recounts that in a Senate hearing, Secretary of State John Kerry was asked about weaknesses in the administrationâs plan for fighting ISIS, and suggested that Iran and Syria could help:Kerry stunningly suggested that the gaps would be filled by . . . Iran and Assad. â[Y]ouâre presuming that Iran and Syria donât have any capacity to take onâ Islamic State, Kerry said. âIf we are failing and failing miserably, who knows what choice they might make.â Posted by: Hupineger Glomomp0035 2015-02-06 |
