“In the end a lie is a lie.”

We don’t discuss this issue [conversations with Russia] as a government, but we discuss the repercussions, which is more important because sometimes repercussions could be more destroying than the strike itself.

This war [in Syria] is going to support Al-Qaeda and the same people that killed Americans in the 11th of September.

But for us, in Syria, we have principles. We’ll do anything to prevent the region from another crazy war. It’s not only Syria. Because it will start in Syria.

It’s very simple ; once the Western countries stop supporting those terrorists and making pressure on their puppet countries and client states like Saudi Arabia and Turkey and others, you’ll have no problem in Syria. It will be solved easily.

At the end, killing is killing. Massacring is massacring.

In any war, people will pay the price.

It’s not about me, again, this fight is not my fight, it’s not the fight of the government ; it’s the fight of the country, of the Syrian people.

We have hopes that we can see rational American presidents; fair, obey the international law, deal with other countries according to mutual respect, parity, etc., but we all know that this is only wishful thinking and fantasy.

We have the precedent of Collin Powell ten years ago, when he showed the evidence, it was false, and it was forged.

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.

Let’s talk… we have indications, let me just finish this point, because how can use WMD while your troops are only 100 meters away from it ? Is it logical ? It doesn’t happen. It cannot be used like this.

You cannot have democracy without the institutions. You cannot have a democracy that is built on the moods of self-interested people.

We are dealing with treachery and threats, which accompanied the establishment of Israel.

Because of this interference for the last fifty years, that’s why they are very good only in creating problems, not in solving problems. That’s the problem with the American role.

Those fighters, the Syrian part that you’re talking about, lost its natural incubators in the Syrian society – they don’t have incubators anymore ; that’s why they have incubators abroad.

The sarin gas is a very primitive gas. You can have it done in the backyard of a house ; it’s a very primitive gas. So, it’s not something complicated.

Let us all so live as we shall wish we had lived when we come to die; for that only is well, that ends well.

[Season 4 of Sherlock Holmes will be] myopically dark. You’re talking about the end of the universe darkness. You can’t see in front of you and would walk into everything dark.

You can only end a negotiation for peace if you begin it.

I’m excited to see where the Illuminati and whatever else might happen, how that works, and where it ends up.

Business ends up being very dynamic and situational.

People don’t know who I am, and that’s not a bad thing at all from my end.

In the end, We’re all the same.

Maybe the light’s at the other end of the tunnel.
