Syria's Assad is being
blamed for over 100,000 casualties during the Syrian civil war. John Kerry said
last week that any negotiitions between the Syrian government and the 'rebels'
(Al Qaeda-linked Al Nusra fighters, incl many foreign) must be predicated on
Assad's ouster because, as Kerry maintains, Assad is too 'cruel.'
Yet, there were 285,000
casualties in the Iraq war, as a result of US involvement there, and 63% were
cizilian. So isn't 'cruelty' in the eye of the beholder? The Examiner just now
reported that 60,000+ residents have exited Iraq's Anbar Province due to terror
activity. See last link.
We started a war. The
country we were 'helping' is now worse off than it was before we invaded even
though we proudly proclaim that we 'won'. (What was our prize?)
Yet the secretary of state
of the country whose invasion caused 285,000 in Iraq condemns Syria's Assad
because he presided over a war that killed 100,000.
Mr. Kerry, no one is
listening to you or your clueless boss. Just SHUT UP, John Kerry!

"...where’s
the uproar over al-Maliki bombing his own people, to match the outrage over
al-Assad bombing his own people?"
