US calls on Assad to step down
2015-03-13
[Iran Press TV] The United States has once again called on Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
Despoiler of Deraa...
to step down accusing his government of being authoritarian and brutal against Syrian people.
Draw them one of those patented Obamaredlines, fer sher, Jen.
"For four years the Assad regime has answered Syrians' calls for freedom and reform with unrelenting brutality, authoritarianism and destruction," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki
...a valley girl who woke up one morning and found she was spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of State...
told news hounds on Thursday.
Toadally.
The Syrian government has been fighting murderous Moslems and murderous Moslems from various countries. The United States and its regional allies - especially Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates...
, Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
, and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
- are supporting the murderous Moslems operating inside the country.

The foreign-backed opposition and its Western supporters have insisted that Assad must step down and a transitional government be formed in Syria as part of any peace deal aimed at ending the crisis in the Arab country.

However,
ars longa, vita brevis...
Damascus has rejected such demands, arguing that the groups backed by foreign powers and based overseas do not represent the true Syrian opposition.

Psaki extolled the murderous Moslems fighting against the Syrian government saying Syria won't be stable as long as Assad is in power. "As we have long said, Assad must go and be replaced through a negotiated, political transition that is representative of the Syrian people."

#6  More to the point ...

* TOPIX > [NewsMax] CIA: US DOES NOT WANT TO SEE SYRIAN REGIME "COLLAPSE".

IMO unless both US-Allies + Russia can agree on a common replacement, Baby Assad is going to be around for a long time to come yet.

Moreso given ...

* SAME > NORTH CAUCUASUS MILITANT HARDEN [deny] LINKS AGZ ISLAMIC STATE.

Fine on the surface, but we must not forget that AL-NUSRA was once the ISIS/ISIL's deadly or mortal enemy before it became the lstter's BFF.

One of the major reasons, but not the only one, as to why Darth Vlad took the Crimea from Ukraine + repor intends massively expanding the scale of the Russian military presence in Russia's West.

AGZ WILY DASTARDLY US + NATO-EU - YOU KNOW, SSSHHHH ... CCCCCC THE HARD BOYZ.
