*** Kerry: De VS wil Syrie nog steeds naar de democratie bombarderen ***
De vredesconferentie verloopt vlot. Kerry laat weten dat Obama Syrie nog steeds naar de democratie wil bombarderen. Het plan ligt nog steeds op tafel, Obama heeft de Syrische overheid gewoonweg even tijd gegeven om hun verplichtingen inzake de chemische wapens na te komen. Indien nodig zal Obama niet twijfelen om de zogenaamde Amerikaanse 'gelimiteerde aanval' alsnog te verordenen.
Voice of Russia - US still toying with idea of bombing Syria - Kerry
23 januari 2014 - US President Barack Obama has never given up the idea of dealing a blow on Syria, US Secretary of State John Kerry said. He believes that Bashar Assad is as good as a magnet for terrorists. When President Barack Obama was making a decision about a potential use of force against Syria he was making this decision in the context of the chemical weapons problem. He left that version at call on his desk, allowing for the expectation of Syrians to perform all their obligations, said Kerry according to TASS news agency. He added that the president never pigeonholed this version, waiting for the developments.
