FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The US and the UK are just as determined as ever to remove Bashar Assad from power, but are unlikely to go for a full-scale military intervention – at least for now.
This was the gist of the message from US President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron as they stood side-by-side before the White House press corps.
Cameron is on a three-day official visit to the United States, and the leaders were keen to reaffirm the two allies’ “essential relationship.”
With the West often accused of meddling behind the scenes to impose regime change, the UK Prime Minister firmly stated that he did not want to ”foment revolution” in Syria. Obama echoed his words, fretting about a possible “civil war.” The President also said that the case for military intervention was not as clear-cut as during the Libyan uprising last year, and that it would be more difficult to get the international community on the side of intervention.
Thousands of people have already died in a year-long conflict between Assad’s government and rebels demanding an end to the rule of a family that has controlled Syria for over 40 years.
But despite renouncing the use of force for the moment, the two leaders are still clear about their desired outcome to the conflict.
“Assad will leave power, it’s not a question of if, but when,” Obama said.
“Perfect Afghanistan” unattainable
Despite recent volatility in Afghanistan, Obama and Cameron said there would be no changes to the plan to pull out of the country by 2014.
Obama said that more than half of Afghanistan is already supervised by Western-trained local forces, and that by 2014 NATO would serve a merely supervisory role.
But Cameron insisted that “Afghanistan must never again be a safe haven for Al-Qaeda.”
NATO troops have been in Afghanistan since 2001, following the September 11 attacks hatched by Osama bin Laden, who used the region to build up a terrorist network.
Despite boasting about improved security for the world and the country’s own citizens after more than a decade, the two leaders admitted the limitations of the Western mission there.
“We won’t build a perfect Afghanistan,” Cameron conceded during the press conference.
