US Secretary of State John Kerry is at the talks along with Hague and counterparts from Egypt, France, Germany, Italy, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates, together with opposition leaders.

British Foreign Secretary William Hague said the London meeting was aimed at persuading Syria’s fractious rebels to have a “united position” for the UN-backed conference in the Swiss city, pencilled in for November 23.

So is Kerry desperate, or what?
The hilarious thing about this is that if Obama, Bandar, Bibi & BBC’s “rebels” weren’t as predictably cowardly, stupid and disorganised as Obama, Bandar, Bibi and the BBC, Syria would have been Libya-ised 12 months ago.
GAME OVER, girls!

Instead of wasting time whining and gnashing their gums in public, over a missed Schadenfreude opportunity in Syria, Kerry, Hague and Obama should be asking themselves
“Are Russia, China, and Iran learning something about cowardly regime-change plots and cheap tricks?”
and wishing the answer could be NO…

It is clear the US, Uk, Israel and much of the West do not observe the most fundamental aspects of International Law,because the US,UK and France are vetoing members of the security council, they are above the rules of International Law for all time, or until the rules of the game are changed. That being so the Russian and Chinese positioning of their warships off the coast of Syria during the recent crisis was, in effect those two countries legitimate concern to prevent a flagrant breach of International Law, the moral of the story is clear, because the West led by the US cares nothing for International Law, Russia and China must make it clear that any US attempt at regime change in Syria or Iran will be met with military confrontation. I read in a previous post how when the Sanctions are over Iran hopes that their oil, combined with Iraq’s [when it comes on the market] could reduce the world price to 20 dollars a barrel. Great, how would that affect the terrorist supporting Saudi perverts, can I suggest the Iranians target the Saudis markets, and give their oil away free or at bargain basement prices for a period, and sit back and watch those fat perverts squeal when their economy is hit, and necktie parties are being formed.

Any significant dip in oil prices will make the Alberta Oil Sands, fracking in America and the pipeline/rail plays now being made, very unprofitable.
No wonder that the Oil Companies’ mascot, Stephen Harper, has recently been warmongering in Palestine.
