Secretary of State John Kerry responded to news of Syrian airstrikes against ISIS-controlled towns inside Iraq’s Anbar Province today, warning Syria that the strikes “might exacerbate the sectarian divisions.”
Kerry went on to caution that Syrian military involvement against ISIS “could act as a flash point with respect to the sectarian divide,” while other officials expressed concern about Iran sending surveillance drones to aid Iraq.
Though the Obama Administration had made clear their own intention to intervene militarily on the exact same side and for the exact same reasons, officials have been extremely negative about Syria and Iran doing so.
When pressed on the matter, State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf insisted the US blames Syria and Iran for the entire ISIS problem, saying one of the main reasons ISIS is so strong is because of the civil war in Syria.
Did I miss Kerry warning israel over airstrikes in Syria?
No, it is Israel that warns Kerry of commenting on airstrikes in Syria.
Got a video or Kerry or for that matter…ANYONE substantiating this horseshit?
What a piece of shit article. Completely untrue.
What exactly do you think is "untrue"? There are links. Then there is Google. Need anything else?
The US Department of State isn't a sufficiently authoritative source? The second linked article is a State Dept. issued transcript of Marie Harf's own words: "But to be clear, one of the, if not the main, reason ISIL has been allowed to grow in strength is because of the Assad regime, because of the climate they’ve created in Syria."
Too clueless to click on the link are you? Perhaps you've spent most of your life under a bridge.
Marie Harf must be brain dead, she failed to mention that the USG is the one who trained and armed those rebels in Syria.
They’re so dumb, US officials. They have no answers. All they can do is just avoid questions and keep doing whatever they want, since it’s an authoritarian country.
Does this mean that the US likes ISIS better than Iran/Syria? The US is running afoul of its own terrorism laws. It is way to late to worry about sectarian divisions. Why wouldn't Syria want to take the fight to its enemy? The US and its masters get the bloody regional war that they have craved.
"saying one of the main reasons ISIS is so strong is because of the civil war in Syria." ho my !!! guilty of fighting a war against insurgents…the skill of thie job is to be able to say all kind of stuff with a straight face and keep repeating it until you say the opposite at a very different moment and always with the same assurance and straight face….
because came i n on Iran's side against ISIS
Kerry's face is botoxed into frozen immobility
Because ISIS is CON..trolled by the Amerikan CON..gress. WELKOME TO AMERIKA…
My comment is to this arrogant hollow man. Booger off home Ketchup Boy and stay there.
"…“might exacerbate the sectarian divisions.”…"
Poor old Kerry…Iraq has been in the throes of full-scale sectarian religious war from the day the US invaded Baghdad and overthrew Saddam. And the USG is hip-deep, straddling both sides of the fight. They are supplying the "moderates" (ISIS/ISIL) who are Sunni fighting the Shiite Alawites with weapons provided by the USG…and providing weapons and operational support to the Iraqi government which by now is generally speaking mostly Shiite who are fighting the Sunni ISIS/ISIL.
USG foreign policy is "…a puzzle inside a riddle wrapped in an enigma, and the key is…" well, there is no single key, just typical USG ineptitude and even less thought that usually leads to a devastating and catastrophic event that the American people pay for.
The Frau keeps asking don't these idiots understand that nobody wins a religious war?
"saying one of the main reasons ISIS is so strong is because of the civil war in Syria."
Why yes, the ISIS would not be so strong if WE had not been pumping up the Civil War in Syria for the last few years.
By such statement from anyone within USG shows that USG is behind and has been behind these barbarians from day one, it means that USG is not about democracy but rather willing to help Neo, old and ok'd fascism in Ukraine and these Saudis, Qatari, Kuwaitis savages in Middle East, if USG is so eager to keep these elements as their last allies, USG and EU welcome to take them with while leaving Middle East, get the hell out of Middle East and rest of the world, you been of no good to anyone, nor your falsified democracy since Tehran conference and before. Yankee go home and stay home.
