Zionist Kerry Calls for Immediate Strikes in Syria, Dempsey Warns of Repercussions

US Secretary of State John Kerry last week called for immediate US airstrikes against Syrian airfields.

According to Bloomberg’s Jeffrey Goldberg, Kerry claimed that “Syria used those fields to launch chemical weapons raids against rebel forces.”
Kerry presented his plan during a principals meeting in the White House situation room, but Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey “threw a series of brush back pitches at Kerry.”

In this context, Dempsey demanded to know just exactly what the post-strike plan would be and pointed out that the State Department didn’t fully grasp the complexity of such an operation.

Dempsey, the Bloomberg report said, informed Kerry that the Air Force could not simply drop a few bombs, or fire a few missiles, at targets inside Syria: To be safe, the US would have to neutralize Syria’s integrated air-defense system, an operation that would require 700 or more sorties.

“Dempsey is said to have argued that a demand by the State Department for precipitous military action in a murky civil war wasn’t welcome,” Goldberg wrote.

According to officials with knowledge of the meeting, Dempsey said that without much of an entrance strategy, without anything resembling an exit strategy, and without even a clear-eyed understanding of the consequences of an American airstrike, the Pentagon would be extremely reluctant to get behind Kerry’s plan.

The outcome of the meeting last week, Goldberg wrote, was to formalize a decision made weeks ago to supply the more moderate elements of the Syrian opposition with small arms and ammunition.
