US aims to rally Syrian opposition with new aid
NEW YORK (AP) — The Obama administration moved Friday to rally Syria's opposition with pledges of $45 million in new non-lethal* and humanitarian assistance as the administration and other world leaders lamented the failure of diplomatic efforts to push Syrian President Bashar Assad from power.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said the U.S. would contribute an additional $15 million in non-lethal gear* — mostly communications equipment — to the civilian opposition trying to oust Assad as well as $30 million in new humanitarian assistance to help those affected by the continuing violence.*
She also delivered a new, stark warning to Iran that "it must stop arming and supporting the Assad regime."
"It is no secret that our attempts to move forward at the U.N. Security Council have been blocked repeatedly, but the United States is not waiting," she stated.
* "non-lethal" - How stupid and/or naive does Hillary think we are?
We are getting set up to sponsor Israel in a Middle East war that is going to cost $100s of billions of dollars and further erode our international respect.
Get ready, America for another disaster!
