Tillerson is now saying whenever anyone anywhere attacks innocents, the US will respond, now sounding more like Haley.

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/tillerson-g-7-vows-defend-innocents-anywhere-world-n744631


Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, visiting a memorial to victims of Nazi atrocities in World War II, declared Monday the United States will stand up to aggressors who harm civilians, wherever they are.

Tillerson traveled to Italy as Washington seeks to rally world leaders behind a strategy to resolve the protracted civil war in Syria.

The secretary of state commenced his visit to Italy by traveling up a winding mountain road to Sant'Anna di Stazzema, the Tuscan village where the Nazis massacred more than 500 civilians during World War II.

As he laid a wreath at the site, Tillerson alluded to the chemical attack in Syria last week that triggered retaliatory U.S. airstrikes.

"We rededicate ourselves to holding to account any and all who commit crimes against the innocents anywhere in the world," Tillerson said. "This place will serve as an inspiration to us all."

Let's start with the actual United States and then work our way up from there, you blasted hypocrites.

Does that include the American raid in Yemen that killed dozens of innocent civilians? Or the over 200 dead from our bombing of a civilian hospital in Iraq?

While I agree with being tougher on Syria and North Korea, these sound like words that could come back to haunt us. (Although they are probably just words)

Nikki Haley might as well be SecState. Everything she says and does seems to always change Trump's and Tillerson's minds.

Tillerson is endorsing the overthrow of Donald Trump? That's unexpected.

Ok, so declare a no fly zone over Yemen and bomb Saudi troops.
