Tillerson and foreign diplomats discuss Syria crisis at G7

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson along with top foreign diplomats held an urgent meeting in Italy to discuss the Syrian crisis. 

The meeting was arranged on the 'sidelines' of the Group of 7 (Russia used to make '8') of "likeminded" countries days after the U.S. struck at Bashar al-Assad for having killed his own citizens with Sarin nerve gas. From that meeting, Tillerson flew to Moscow to meet with Russian leaders (other than Putin) to try convincing them to end their support for the weak chin Assad.

Also meeting with the G-7 countries are diplomats from Jordan, Saudi Arabia (who assist the world in supplying Islamic terrorists), Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and others.

Tillerson hopes to enlist these Middle East countries into helping ensure and stabilize Syria after ISIS is defeated. The meeting lasted an hour.

The Secretary of State hasn't been very visible publicly, but last week's attack had him in front of the media answering questions from reporters about Assad's chemical attack which resulted in the U.S. responding with 59 Tomahawk Cruise missiles.

One libtard politician thought that Native Americans would be insulted that Cruise missiles are labeled 'Tomahawk Cruise missiles' because she believes the tomahawk is unique to Native Americans. But the fact is that tomahawks were created as a general purpose tool used by Native Americans and European colonials. The design was originally based on a Royal Navy boarding axe used as a trade-item with Native Americans for food, etc. That's why liberals are generally stupid when it comes to identity politics.

U.S. officials along with Tillerson have projected a sense of urgency over the brutal Syria crisis but haven't told us how Assad needs to go nor how to protect displaced Syrians. It's also unclear at this time as to the Trump administration's plans for further action with Assad. For all appearances, it seems this policy is still evolving along with the President's change of heart on Syria and isolationism.

"We rededicate ourselves to holding to account any and all who commit crimes against the innocents anywhere in the world," Tillerson said on a visit to Sant'Anna di Stazzema on Monday. It's a Tuscan village where the Nazis massacred over 500 civilians.

So we shall see what lies in store for the world in the coming weeks. Nothing seems to look very bright.

Susan "Four Pinocchio" Rice

Susan Rice does not have a close relationship with Truth. She thinks Truth is a fickle friend who changes opinions as often as Hillary Clinton comes up with a new excuse for losing a presidential election to a TV personality. 

Just a few months ago Rice claimed Bashar al-Assad (the 'ad' is silent) regime "voluntarily and verifiably" gave up its stockpile of chemical weapons. On Monday, The Washington Post fact-checker gave Rice "four pinocchios"--the absolutely worst rating on the truth scale, or best rating on the lying scale, depending how you see the glass.

"The reality is that there were continued chemical-weapons attacks by Syria," the left-leaning tabloid wrote.

Another so-called fact-checking website, PolitiFact, also retracted its "mostly true" rating they assigned to a 2014 claim from then-Secretary of State John "Hair-plugs" Kerry that "100 percent" of those weapons were removed from Syria.

But that was back in 2014 when truth didn't matter as much in the Obama administration.

Rice's claim, on the other hand, was more recent and under a new administration where truth matters a little more, depending on who's doing the talking. She told NPR that the Obama administration was able to "find a solution" on Syria that didn't require the use of force when Obama's 'red line' was crossed--Obama dealt with it using diplomacy.

But diplomacy worked no better than Obamacare. Both were miserable failures, as was both terms of his presidency.

"We were able to get the Syrian government to voluntarily and verifiably give up its chemical weapons stockpile," Rice claimed falsely.

Unfortunately, Assad was able to scrounge up enough sarin nerve gas to kill dozens of his own people, which prompted President Trump to smack him down with 59 Cruise Tomahawk missiles at the airfield from where the gas was flown.

The Washington Post wrote "the Obama administration had a tendency to oversell what was accomplished, perhaps because Obama received so much criticism for not following through on an attack if Syria crossed what Obama had called 'a red line.'"

"The reality is that there were continued chemical-weapons attacks by Syria--and that U.S. and international officials had good evidence that Syria had not been completely forthcoming in its declaration and possibly retained sarin and VX nerve agent," the Post wrote.

In other words, Rice and Kerry lied to make Obama sound as if he had 'a pair' leading from the front.

Using Rice's words, the Post column ruled: "She did not explain that Syria's declaration was believed to be incomplete and thus was not fully verified--and that the Syrian government still attacked citizens with chemical weapons not covered by the 2013 agreement. That tipped her wordsmithing toward a Four."
