Obama, Turkish PM call for Syria’s Assad to resign


My Comment:  I did a short post on this yesterday, I’ll put a link at the bottom with the video.  This is very significant.  In addition to all the scurrying around of all the talking heads and elite, obama just declared Turkey as the ruler to lead the middle east.  The Ottoman Empire is being resurrected.  This bears serious watching.

At a joint news conference after talks in Washington on Thursday, US President Barack Obama and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan (right) called on Syria’s Bashar al-Assad to end the country’s bloody civil war by stepping down.

US President Barack Obama and Turkey’s Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan insisted on Thursday that Syria’s Bashar al-Assad must quit power as part of moves to end Syria’s bloody civil war.

The leaders met in Washington amid a flurry of shuttle diplomacy between world and regional powers, amid maneuvering ahead of a planned international conference that Washington and Moscow have proposed to halt the violence.

At a joint White House news conference, the Turkish and US leaders restated their position, but Obama admitted: “There is no magic formula for dealing with an extraordinarily violent and difficult situation like Syria’s.”

The talks came a day before another key player, Russian President Vladimir Putin, was to meet UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, and one day after UN members voted to condemn an “escalation” by Assad’s forces.

And even as Obama and Erdogan were meeting, Israeli officials told AFP that John Brennan, director of the US Central Intelligence Agency, had arrived in Israel for talks on the Syrian crisis.

Obama has made strenuous efforts to court the Turkish leader but, while they agree that Assad must be ousted, there are signs of frustration in Ankara at Obama’s cautious approach towards the Syrian rebels.

– FRANCE 24.

  1. Not making light of the very important points made here but the attached picture shows US Marines holding umbrellas for the leaders. having served in the USMC I can say that while the Marines are the “President’s Own” Marines do not carry umbrellas in uniform. Even more, while they are considered the “President’s Own” they are not his personal servants rather they are protectors. This is a smack in the face of the most elite fighting force there is especially in the face of one who seems to despise the military. Just my observation.
