[blm]

58. A single link to Kerry's views on roots of terrorism and humanitarian

solutions as part of the effort combatting it? JEEEEEEZUS Keerist, Scub…..where have you been the last 40 years?

Humanitarian component is NOT being pushed aside.

“As we build this coalition, I want to underscore that almost every single country on earth has a role to play in eliminating the ISIL threat and the evil that it represents,” he said.

“For some that will mean military assistance, both direct and in the form of training, arming, and advising, equipping. For some it will mean contributing to the desperately needed humanitarian relief effort. For some it will mean helping to identify, track, and cut off ISIL’s funding, and prevent the flow of foreign fighters,” Kerry continued.

“For still others it will mean demolishing the distortion of one of the world’s great peaceful religions and counteracting the propaganda ISIL uses to recruit new supporters,” he said. “And for all it will mean publicly supporting the new inclusive government in Iraq.”

Kerry outlined what several countries have already offered, including the provision of military assistance (Canada, Britain, France, Estonia, Albania, Australia) and humanitarian aid (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, France, Britain, Japan, Australia).

“The UAE [United Arab Emirates] has agreed to take on ISIL’s support networks and beat back against its militant ideological propaganda,” he said.

From Jeddah we then went to Paris, in which we had the Paris conference hosted by President Hollande, and that was focused on support for Iraq in its fight against ISIS. And the statement that issued in Paris, 26 nations signed up to a very comprehensive and broad-scale campaign to defeat ISIS. That then led into the Security Council meeting on Friday hosted by Secretary Kerry with almost 40 nations offering their very clear support for Iraq and a comprehensive global campaign, again, to defeat ISIS along these multiples lines of effort.

And this is all anchored by Chapter 7 Security Council Resolution 2170 that was passed right before the NATO summit, which basically discussed the need for all member-states around the entire world to cut down on foreign fighter flows, to restrict the financing of extremist groups like ISIL and associated movements, and also to stop the incitement and legitimization that these groups tend to get.

And this will flow in, of course, to the historic Security Council meeting we’re having tomorrow. And I’m using the word “historic” because I really think if you look at what’s happened over the last six weeks, it truly is historic, which gets to what happened last night and today. I know when we were on the road with a lot of you last week, there was some skepticism of what the coalition was about. We tried to emphasize that this was not only a military coalition; the military piece is only one part of it, but there is a military component. The support I know was described in some articles as tepid.

Obviously, we couldn’t talk about everything that was going on behind the scenes, but behind the scenes we are very actively building a military coalition in order to target ISIL and some of the associated groups in a very effective and fairly comprehensive way with the target packages, and now everybody can see what happened last night.
So that then led into today. And today we had – the meeting I can talk about was President Obama and Secretary Kerry with the new prime minister of Iraq, Prime Minister Abadi, and with the countries from the region who were involved in the operation last night, so UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Jordan, Qatar – all around the table discussing the common threat of ISIL. And I think I would just say the President was very clear in terms of actually laying out where we are, talking about the fact that this is a threat that unifies everybody. And everybody’s head around the table was nodding at the fact that this is a threat that unifies everybody. Everybody around the table agreed that there are times in the world where you need to make a stand, and this is a time in which the world needs to come together and make a stand, but particularly the region needs to come together and make a stand, because this is a threat that is most prominently affecting our partners in the region.

So strong unanimity around the table, the fact that it is time to make a stand, the fact that this is going to be a long-term campaign, the fact that everybody around the table is in it for the long haul. And that was really what this meeting was about. And what made it quite interesting was the fact that Iraq was not only a key component of this meeting, but also a lead participant in talking about the wishes and desires of Iraq to open a new page in the region for all of the regional partners who were also around the table to fully restore relations, to open embassies, to work with bilateral and multilateral forums to help strengthen this new Iraqi Government as it takes on the very, very, very difficult fight that it confronts against ISIS.

So I think, again, if you look at the continuum of what’s happened over the last six weeks and the pretty extraordinary level of diplomacy not only in the region but also around the world, if you look at all the countries that have been brought together at the Security Council last Friday and Paris and of course at NATO, at Jeddah, and Cairo, and then of course, all the bilateral meetings we’ve had, that Secretary Kerry has had in Ankara and Cairo and Baghdad over the last few weeks, you can now see some of the – what we were building towards.

But again, this is only a start. Nobody is looking at this as something that is going to be short-term. We would like to defeat ISIL as fast as we can, but that’s not going to be possible. It’s going to be long-term and there’s going to be a military component; there is going to be a financial component; there is going to be a foreign fighter component, which is key because the foreign fighters are the oxygen that gives these movements their very lifeblood, and that’ll be a focus of the Security Council session tomorrow; there is a humanitarian component; and there is a de-legitimization component. All of these things have to work harmoniously and in an integrated fashion, and that is one reason also that General Allen has been brought on board to help integrate this entire effort and to match coalition contributions to the needs and to make sure the whole thing is synchronized, because this is a very, very difficult endeavor.

Really, Scub…you want to claim you don't know Kerry's 40 year record at this point, I direct you to National Security Archives.

If this nation had been smart enough to acknowledge Kerry's efforts on terrorism and act on them back in the 90s, then there never would have been a rise in global terrorism, let alone a 9-11. The humanitarian efforts wouldn't even have become so exploited and so pressing now.

Apparently you, along with corporate-media fed America, ignored his 90s book warning about global terrorism and how it needed to be fought…. legally: The New War
