Secretary Rex Tillerson delivered very important remarks today in Palm Beach Florida ahead of ongoing discussions with the Chinese delegation and President Xi Jinping meeting with President Donald Trump.
Following the segment by T-Rex outlining the parameters for the meetings today and tomorrow, Tillerson communicated a position of the Trump administration that Syrian leader Bashir Assad should step down from power.

Ping...
Hhmmm...”Assad should step down”...hhmmmm
The thing I like about Sundance and his/her articles, they have focus on the subject at hand, videos usually and he is one of the best at getting to the subject without all the baloney that the media and talking heads have to do...
In this article, there is the video of Mr. Tillerman this morning...pictures, and a video of what President Trump said on the plane to the reporters amongst other things...
With now seeking Assad to be removed we have the convergence with Obama’s foreign policy.
Appears so.
Unfortunately I can’t view videos right now

Early Somalia: Feed the sad Somalis..! Boo hoo..!
misguided, but basically worked.
Late Somalia: CAPTURE the dastardly Somali Warlords
TOTAL boondoggle, got nothing, made them hate us, got our guys shot up, left with NOTHING. SUCKED.
And so, too, will it be THIS time.
I think at some time in the future, with the colition that President Trump has built:
Neither Secretary Tillerson, nor President Trump, would be leaning forward on the position to remove Assad politically without that position being the recommendation of the aforementioned “Freedom Alliance“:
Fattah al-Sisi (Egypt), King Abdullah II (Jordan), Benjamin Netanyahu (Israel), Mahmoud Abbas (Palestinian Authority), King Salman and Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (Saudi Arabia).
Thinking in larger terms, the discussion about who to blame for the chemical attack, and the political removal of Bashir Assad are not mutually exclusive. Meaning, it is quite possible for President Trump and the U.S. team to understand it was NOT Assad who carried out the attack, and yet still use the appearance of Assad’s culpability (compromised position) to gain the political leverage for Assad to step down.
(Taken from the article)
No, ALL of our focus and effort should be on destroying ISIS. It is worse than pointless to talk about Assad stepping down (which he will never do), since there is no conceivable replacement in sight.
Trump and Tillerson are being influenced by the liberals/globalists on this, and it’s damned foolish. Are we going to FORCE Assad out? That would be beyond foolish and would require massive military intervention. Assad is pure ruthless, brutal realpolitik, appeals to sentiment and morality mean less than nothing to him.
If we are not going to physically remove him from power, prattling on about how he should “step down” just makes us look weak and foolish. Assad has fought through a savage civil war for 6 years, recently his position has been steadily improving, and suddenly he will “step down” just because western countries (yet again) call for him to do so?
This is much worse than mere silliness.
From the article: “The process by which Assad would leave is something that I think requires and international community effort, both to first defeat ISIS within Syria, to stabilize the Syrian country to avoid further civil war, and then to work collectively with our partners around the world through a political process that would lead to Assad leaving.”
At least Tillerson’s comments are not WAR against ASSAD is on the way....
Tillerson & Trump would do well to investigate links between John McCain’s recent trip to Syria, his contacts with his CIA/ISIS friends, the history of ISIS using chemical weapons to stage false flag chemical attacks against civilians and this false flag chemical weapons attack on civilians.....
The absolute failure to repeal OC, and the Ryan bill even if it passed would not have repealed it, the firing of Flynn, the hiring of his very liberal daughter and her very liberal husband and Rinse Pre-wash indicates to me Trump is in over his head and is following the NWO Republicans.
Syria is NONE of our business.
Muslims, who want to kill Americans are instead killing each other, what’s the down side?
““Freedom Alliance“:....Fattah al-Sisi (Egypt), King Abdullah II (Jordan), Benjamin Netanyahu (Israel), Mahmoud Abbas (PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY), King Salman and Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (SAUDI ARABIA).
How can SAUDI ARABIA be part of any “Freedom Alliance” alliance?
US just fired multiple tomahawk missiles at a Syrian base. Buckle up.
How does it help freedom if we are backing Al Qaeda?
You’ll have to ask Hillary and bami that question, they are the ones that were doing that...
The implications of provoking Russia into a closer military alliance with China through the US attacking Syria are sobering to the extreme.... Anyone who thinks that the United States is immune to nuclear attack from her enemies is living in a fantasy. Very serious...
