Robert Parry — Neocons Object to Syrian Democracy

President Obama has infuriated Official Washington’s neocons by accepting the Russian stance that the Syrian people should select their own future leaders through free elections, rather than the neocon insistence on a foreign-imposed “regime change,” reports Robert Parry.…
Kerry “now agrees with Mr. Putin that the country’s future leadership must be left to Syrians to work out,” the Post’s outraged editors wrote. Yes, you read that correctly.

The neoconservatives aren't very good at PR. They want to publicly announce who should be the President of Syria. Obama is an exemplary PR man. He too doesn't think the Syrians should choose their own government, but he is intelligent and politically savvy enough to deliver the usual spiel about freedom, democracy and the right of downtrodden people to determine their own future, while he does everything in his power to negate all of the above.

Would't be surprised. But I suspect Hilary would utterly thump Trump at the election. It is now far too late for the Republicans need to find themselves a sane candidate. The world's loss because Hilary is batshit crazy.
