The United States accused Syria, and because you accused you have to bring evidence [of chemical weapons], this first of all. We have to find evidences when we are there.

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.

They want to criticize you, let them criticize and do not worry. Just be transparent with your people and tell them this is the reality.

When you're in the middle of a storm, leaving your country just because you have to leave without any reasonable reason, it means you're quitting your country and this is treason.

"Winning" is a subjective word, but we are making advancement. This is the correct word, because winning for some people is when you finish completely.

According to what we've been seeing recently in the area where the terrorists control, where they ban people from going to schools, ban young men from shaving their beards, and women have to be covered from head to toe, and let's say in brief they live the Taliban style in Afghanistan, completely the same style.

As I said, this [repercussions] may take different forms : direct and indirect. Direct when people want to retaliate, or governments. Indirect when you're going to have instability and the spread of terrorism all over the region that will influence the west directly.
