It&#8217;s time for negotiation.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> Kerry said the United States welcomed Russia&#8217;s involvement in tackling the Islamic State in Syria but a worsening refugee crisis underscored the need to find a compromise that could also lead to political change in the country.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We need to get to the negotiation. That is what we&#8217;re looking for and we hope Russia and Iran, and any other countries with influence, will help to bring about that, because that&#8217;s what is preventing this crisis from ending,&#8221; said Kerry.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We talked the Shah of Iran into stepping down and we put him up on a tropical island paradise. Who knows where the Haitian generals are &#8211; we paid them to leave the country and we never heard from them again. I&#8217;m sure Assad would have had a cheaper price tag in 2011 when this whole civil war thing began, but now, with all of that death and destruction behind him, it&#8217;s a seller&#8217;s market. When Assad leaves, all of those loyal government troops will pay for his betrayal of them when he gets bought out. <\/p>\n<p>So, nice timing, Kerry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reuters reports that now, after four years of civil war, the displacement of more than 5 &hellip; <a title=\"Kerry says Assad must go\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=61913\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Kerry says Assad must go<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":34282,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-61913","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-terror-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61913","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=61913"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61913\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/34282"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=61913"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=61913"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=61913"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
