U.S. Envoy to UN: Removing Assad ‘Not OUR Priority’
"The US ambassador to the United Nations said Thursday that Washington is no longer focused on ousting President Bashar Assad as it seeks ways to end Syria’s civil war.
“You pick and choose your battles,” Nikki Haley told reporters. “And when we’re looking at this it’s about changing up priorities and our priority is no longer to sit and focus on getting Assad out.”
Haley was speaking after US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson had signaled a change in the US stance by admitting that Assad’s eventual fate was up to the Syrian people.
Speaking at the US mission to the United Nations, which is about to assume the rotating presidency of the UN Security Council, Haley said Washington will focus on the push for a political solution.
“Our priority is to really look at how do we get things done? Who do we need to work with to really make a difference for the people in Syria,” she said.
“We can’t necessarily focus on Assad the way the previous administration maybe did. Do we think he’s a hindrance? Yes,” she said.
“Are we going to sit there and focus on getting him out? No.”
The only reason the United States was dragged into the middle of Syria's Civil War between al-Assad and ISIS was because Obama stuck his nose where it did not belong, issuing the ill-advised 'Red Line' without knowing what was going on then backing down in front of the whole world, emboldening our enemies. Making matters worse, when chastised for the move Obama attempted to blame the whole world for HIS 'Red line', making a laughing stock out of the U.S.
After that Obama financed, supplied, armed, trained, protected, and defended ISIS while dragging the U.S. further into the middle of the civil war, into an un-authorized and UN-Constitutional war with Syria, siding with terrorist ISIS over the dictator the U.S. had helped put n power years ago. U.s. combat troops - after Obama vowed there would be no more combat boots on the ground in the M.E. - are still fighting there today.
This foreign policy change shows the abandoning of Obama's failed foreign policy regarding Syria and, hopefully in the near future, the end of America's un-Constitutional war in Syria, bringing our troops home instead.
Liberals have repeatedly declared over and over in the past that America is not the 'world's policeman'...but they did not seem to have such opposition to the 'Nobel Peace Prize winner's' personal private, Un-Constitutional wars in Libya, Syria, and even Yemen...or him having his own personal Un-Constitutional Drone Assassination program in which he acted as sole judge, jury, and executioner abroad of enemies, Americans, or civilian casualties.
Hopefully this Trump policy shift is a sign of better things to come. After having ignored North Korea, Russia and china, after aiding terrorism to expand across the globe and seize it's own countries, and after helping Iran further its goal of acquiring nuclear weapons, beginning a nuclear arms race in the M.E. - according to Saudi, eliminating sanctions that limited their ability to spread terrorism around the globe, this administration - this country - faces some stark challenges yet to come.
