Business Insider: The US defense secretary just gave a very telling answer to a question about Obama and Assad
At a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Tuesday, Republican presidential candidate and US Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) asked Defense Secretary Ash Carter:
Who will leave office first, Syrian President Bashar Assad or US President Barack Obama?
The Pentagon chief reportedly answered, "I hope Assad, but I don't think so."
Carter's answer highlights the basic contradiction of the US policy regarding Assad. Over the past four years, the Obama administration has repeatedly said that Assad needs to step down — but has done very little to make that a reality.
WNU Editor: The question and answer is at the 3:14 mark at the above video. Actually .... the entire video is a good question and answer session .... if you have the chance, watch it all.
