Simply naming objectives isn’t sufficient for a vision. If I say that I’m going to build a large palace, but I don’t have any money to do so, then that is not a vision – it’s an illusion.

Arms Mean People

You look at [terrorists] faces, they look foreigners, but where are they coming from ? How precise this estimate is difficult to tell, but definitely the majority are Al-Qaeda.

You should expect everything. Not necessarily through the government, the governments are not the only player in [Middle East] region.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

East Government Middle Player
Regarding fighting terrorism, we are ready to cooperate with anyone in this world with no conditions. That’s crux of our policy, not today, not yesterday; for years, even before the war on Syria, we always said that.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Fighting War Years
We’re talking about one region, bigger regions, not only about Syria. This interlinked region, this intermingled, interlocked, whatever you want to call it ; if you strike somewhere, you have to expect the repercussions somewhere else in different forms in ways you don’t expect.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Different Else Somewhere Talking

BASHAR AL-ASSAD

You want me to believe American evidence and don’t want me to believe the indications that we have. We live here, this is our reality.

BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Believe Reality War
It’s not religious war, but Al-Qaeda always use religions, Islam – actually, as a pretext and as a cover and as a mantle for their war and for their terrorism and for their killing and beheading and so on.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Islam Religious War
None of us and none of the Arabs trust Israel.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Country Hope Trust
Your policy should be a mixture between your interests and how you reach your ends, but based on values. It cannot be only the end justifies the means, because for the criminals, ends justify the means, for thieves, for every illegal and immoral action, the end justifies the means.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Criminal Mean Thieves
The problem with every American candidate regarding the presidency, I am not talking only about this campaign or elections, but generally, that they say something during the campaign and they do the opposite after the campaign.
