Secretary of State John Kerry said at Wednesday’s hearing that Arab counties have offered to pay for the entirety of unseating President Bashar al-Assad if the United States took the lead militarily.

“With respect to Arab countries offering to bear costs and to assess, the answer is profoundly yes,” Kerry said. “They have. That offer is on the table.”

Asked by Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.) about how much those countries would contribute, Kerry said they have offered to pay for all of a full invasion.

“In fact, some of them have said that if the United States is prepared to go do the whole thing the way we’ve done it previously in other places, they’ll carry that cost,” Kerry said. “That’s how dedicated they are at this.

Obama’s boss won’t let him approve Keystone, so he had to make up some global warming bullshit as a diversion.

Obama sending Muslims subtle message?

The map below compares Sept 3, 2013 ice vs. the same date in 2009. Red shows ice present in 2009 but not present in 2013, and green shows the opposite.

Note that there is a little more ice in 2013 than 2009, but what is really interesting is the location. In 2009, the ice (red) was on the wrong side of the Arctic, and almost all of it blew out into the North Atlantic and melted over the winter. This year the ice (green) is on the western side of the Arctic where it will thicken into multi-year ice over the winter.

And that is when the real alarmist wailing and gnashing of teeth will begin.

Last week Obama said that his latest war is not about regime change

“The options that we are considering are not about regime change,” Carney told reporters at his daily briefing. “That is not what we are contemplating here.”

Obama says that supporting these freedom fighters is our moral imperative.

Al-Qaeda linked terrorists in Syria have beheaded all 24 Syrian passengers traveling from Tartus to Ras al-Ain in northeast of Syria, among them a mother and a 40-days old infant.

Gunmen from the terrorist Islamic State of Iraq and Levant stopped the bus on the road in Talkalakh and killed everyone before setting the bus on fire.

According to media reports, the attack was carried out because the passengers who were from three different villages in Ras al-Ain, supported anti-terrorist Kurdish groups which were formed recently to defend Kurdish population against anti-Syria terrorists.

Bodies of a mother and her 40-days infant were also seen among the dead, which were recognized by their relatives.

Syrian Kurdish leader Saleh Muslim warned on Friday that the Kurd minority is facing an ethnic cleansing by al-Qaeda terrorists.
