Page 3 - Bashar Al Assad Cannot News Today

I dont remember obama doing that specifically in this sort of crisis, but there always was that sort of carping. but by his own statement donald trump now puts the responsibility on his shoulders. okay, youre criticizing barack obama for what he did not do in 2012, what are you going to do five years later? because now youre the president of the united states and i personally dont care what he tweeted in 2013. i care what he said yesterday, and i care what he said today. so, mika, the way i read...

We wont hear much about it. there is an argument to be made that sometimes it is more effective to deal with the things in a private room rather than splashing it in somebodys face. well see if there is impact, if that is the case. so far, for instance, in egypt, there are some americans who are being held. egyptian americans being held prisoner. their case was raised by human rights groups this week for the president and he said nothing about it publicly. in private, his aides said hell probabl...

I know the administration is undertaking a policy review process through the national security council and i expect that they will be reaching a conclusion ultimately. there are differing voices in the administration. i know that. ultimately president trump is going to have to make the decision. i would counsel him once again that bashar al assad cannot remain in power and america remain safe from threats coming from the middle east. >> senator, bigger picture here, im just wondering across the ...

You, i talk to people who voted for donald trump. many of them look at something like yesterday where you had this horrifying incident, this attack, this chemical attack in syria, and they watch the response from the president of the united states with the world watching and more time to spend barack obamas policy than bashar al assad. they say, come on, man, its time to get serious. i voted for you but get serious about the job. >> that was an appalling statement and appalling performance by th...

Media citing the defense ministry says it was a government air strike that hit an alleged rebel chemical weapons stash. the u.n. security council will meet this morning at 10:00 a.m. to discuss this attack. in a statement president trump condemned the reprehensible and intolerable attack while shifting blame to his predecessor, president obama saying in part, quote, this, these heinous actions by the bashar al assad regime are a consequence of the past administrations weakness and ir resolution....

I think the administrations decision to try to cozy up to russia means they are not willing to call a humanitarian war crime exactly what it is. weve seen this a couple of times in the administration. second, the reason for the humanitarian safe zone was because the u.n. called for cross-border delivery of humanitarian aid in february of 2014 but the world community has done nothing -- nothing to enforce that. you cant have a statement of principle from the international world on something like ...

Cant create unsafe zones for bashar al assad and his forces and allies in syria in addition to bringing more pressure to bear on iran and russia in the middle east and around the world because they are his main patrons. we shouldnt see syria in isolation but as broader struggle of mastery in the middle east. until we can confront those adversaries in the middle east and throughout the world bashar al assad will remain in power. senator what you call a safe zone, is that a euphemism where assad m...

If anybody tried to screw around with our efforts to provide humanitarian aid, there would have to be military effort to protect the right to follow that u.n. security council resolution. >> isnt it clear bashar al assad is willing to do more than screw around. >> absolutely. >> we made a deal with him he would get rid of chemical weapons in syria. that was arguably the reason we werent going in and doing something about it but here we are with another attack. >> thats true. we should be prosecu...

Bashar al assad will remain in power but millions of syrians and other arabs throughout the middle east north going to accept that and its going to make it harder for us to achieve our goals in isis and iraq and confronting iran as well. >> senator cotton, harold ford. colleagues saying something similar, we should create safe zones. you said unsafe zones. lets take it a step earlier. are we prepared as a nation to confront militarily if zones are declined or breached by mr. assad? two, what is ...

Passionately made a plea to united states government, mr. trump and you all in the senate to do more. she mentioned grounding the air force, perhaps attacking some of the syrian air forces planes on the ground. as you remember thats a position held by then secretary of state john kerry in 2013. he made the case for that. should the united states attack the syrian air force? >> willie, i voted in august of 2013 that we should use military action to punish bashar al assad for using chemical weapon...
