Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem is pushing a plan for a ceasefire in the disputed northern city of Aleppo, humanitarian aid corridors, as well as a prisoner exchange with rebel opposition factions in the area as an attempt at confidence building.
The proposal has sparked outrage from Secretary of State John Kerry, who believes that the efforts are aimed at stealing his thunder at next week’s Geneva 2 peace talks.
Kerry insisted that the Assad government was engaged in “revisionism” by trying to make Geneva 2 about how to deal with the rise of al-Qaeda across the nation’s north.
Kerry even went on to claim that Assad was secretly “funding and ceding territory” to al-Qaeda to fuel fears of al-Qaeda’s growing control over the country.
He insisted that the Geneva 2 talks will center around the installation of a transitional government to replace Assad, though with no rebels slated to attend there is no reason to expect that to happen.
Talk about not trusting people over thirty…. This guy once was a firebrand, now he's becum a loathsome oaf errand boy for the murderous empire….. How many countries are Americans murdering people for domination and profit this month..??? Twenty?? Thirty?? Fifty??? How did the antiwar Kerry becum top apologist for Murder Inc. ????????????
It's frightening to think that in 2004, voters were offered a choice between the brain-dead George W. Bush (who wore a wire in the second and third debates) and the undead John Kerry (who likes his human flesh with lots of ketchup).
)KG, Kerry's ego was hurt! Stop the presses, stop the process! We have one of the biggest blowhards in the history of the US Senate, not an easy achievement, feeling coopted and preempted. He's against this after he was for it!
Now the blame game begins, from Kerry point of view, it was Bashir Al Assad himself who started this war, from the western politicians including Neo liberals fascism point of view, if Assad wasn’t there then we wouldn’t be helping and supporting both the Saudis demand asking western politicians like Hillary Clinton to plan a war for changing the government of Libya and in Syria, from Kerry point of view, it is and was Bashir Al Assad and his father who created Al Queda in Afghanistan and later in Iraq to fight the American hegemony in Middle East , Saudis-Wahhabis had nothing to do with it nor any Saudi national was involved in nine eleven.
What we are seeing is yet another humiliating blow to the US and their israeli patron building up, and finally even slip-of-the-tongue-Kerry could sense it.
After having tried to destroy and "regime change" Syria trough US arm supplied bearded freaks for 3 years, with the result of them now finishing off each other in a macabre all-against-all muppet show (and quite possibly expand it into the west), trying to unseat Bashar Al Assad and impose a western controlled Al-Qaeda regime, a la Libya or US educated quislings by "negotiations" seems to be failing as well. The Syrians remain faithful to their government and country in a way the US only can dream of. also, Russia might break the western blockade of Iran by buying and re-branding it´s oil. It´s Russian big-gun pay-back time for Beslan and Volgograd…
Kerry was and is a fake. Fake "war hero" (research what his crew members think of him). He is reptilian like the rest of this administration.
Can Kerry replace an elected government official from a foreign country? the big question for everyone…who with? Kerry has become delusional cause by too many trips to Israel in which he engaged in "revisionism" with Netanyahu.
Kerry, and much of the political class in DC, seem to have bought into Karl Rove's "We create our own reality" nonsense without appreciating that living in your own reality is not quite the same thing. Like Rove, Kerry is fooled by his own perception management.

Oh, what a tangled web we weave… and then get lost in it!
Jesus, I am sick to death of the US looking for excuses to go to war with you-name-it. But as the saying goes, “when the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.”
