Kerry: Russian Bombs Killing Women And Children 'In Large Numbers'

Source: CNN

Washington (CNN)Secretary of State John Kerry on Friday accused Russia of bombing women and children "in large numbers" in Syria.

Speaking to reporters in Washington, he said the Russian bombing campaign was not precise and that the Russians were using "dumb bombs."

"This has to stop," Kerry declared.

Kerry also continued to push for a ceasefire in Syria.

"The Russians have made some constructive ideas about how a ceasefire could in fact be implemented, but if it's just talk for the sake of talk in order to continue the bombing, nobody's going to accept that. And we will know that in the course of the next days."

Sadly, there are many defending him because they are infected with the "hate America first" disease.

That was can be said to be a mistake. But I would like to know what he has to say about the killings done by his Wahhabi Saudi friends in Yemen. You know the country that deposed a corrupt govt with little or no support from outsiders. Notice how he is not concerned about the deaths of civilians there. He is also not saying anything about Turkey support for ISIS.

In fact there would be no civilian deaths to speak of if the US and its allies didn't decide to start a war in Syria. Kerry is just butthurt that their proxy war in Syria is falling apart. Their attempt to repeat the Libyan fiasco has failed and this is just the way they have decided to grieve that loss.

Make no mistake, these people do not care about civilian deaths, they just want to conquer Syria and take it away from Iran and Russia
