"You pick and choose your battles and when we're looking at this, it's about changing up priorities and our priority is no longer to sit there and focus on getting Assad out. What we are going to focus on is putting the pressure in there so that we can start to make a change in Syria," she said on Thursday, according to Reuters.
"We can't necessarily focus on Assad the way that the previous administration did. Our priority is to really look at how do we get things done, who do we need to work with to really make a difference for the people in Syria," Haley told "a small group of reporters."
Also on Thursday, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said that "Assad's longer-term status 'will be decided by the Syrian people'," the agency reported.

LOL, Stable possibly, moderate no.
Under Hafez, Syria invaded Lebabon and during the 100day war he killed 100,000 (mostly Christians) and created another 300.000 refugees.
Under Bashar the government used machine guns on on unarmed and peaceful protestors and Syria had training camps and safehouses for terrorists including ISIS. The could travel to Iraq to set off car bombs, then return for R&R in Syria.
Since the war started? Mass executions and torture of prisoners, attacking civilian areas and enemies with sarin and chlorine, just last week all evidence points to the use of Chlorine gas on civilians by Assad.

Thank goodness that 27 years of failed American presidencies and poor foreign policy choices have come to an end (Bush 1, Clinton 1-2, Bush 1-2, Obama 1-2). Great again.

So the USA has changed its mind. Shame it didn't think about it more when they decided to get involved against a stable, moderate government and back a load of stone age fundamentalists, resulting in hundreds of thousands dead, refugees swamping Europe and parts of the middle east being ruled by brutal Jihadi nutcases.
