Emanuel and Kirk should both be driven from office.

It will probably take a primary challenge to Kirk, who's vulnerable, because the Democrats won't put up a candidate with any real differences from him.

It will have to be a Republican/Libertarian from the Ron-Paul/anti-war/anti-Wall-St. wing of the party.  --CGE

>> The State Department reiterated once again that its aim is to oust President Bashar Al-Assad.
>> The United States government announced Friday it will provide the Syrian opposition with US$70 million in “non-lethal” assistance. 
>> According to the U.S. Department of State, the assistance will only be delivered to certified rebel groups. 
>> “Today, I can announce a modest step forward that the Administration is working with Congress to provide nearly $70 million in new foreign assistance to continue our full range of support to the moderate Syrian opposition,” said Antony J. Blinken, deputy secretary of state, in a statement. 
>> However, with the rapidly evolving events in the Syrian frontlines, the task of certifying rebel groups as moderate has proven highly difficult. Many so-called moderate rebels have subsequently joined the Islamic State group or the al-Qaida allied al-Nusrah Front. 
>> The U.S government clarified once again that their support for the rebels is consistent with the U.S. long-term objectives. 
>> "As we have long said, Assad must go and be replaced through a negotiated political transition that is representative of the Syrian people," said a White House spokesperson, referring to Washington's commitment to oust the Syrian president. 
>> As media investigations have revealed, classified U.S. documents and independent investigations show aid supplied to the rebel groups has helped strengthen the Islamic State group and Al-Nusrah, which are now dominating the Syrian battlefield. 
>> So far, U.S. support to the Syrian opposition accounts for nearly US$400 million since 2011.
