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.

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.

No doubt that the U.S. is a super-power capable of conquering a relatively small country, but is it able to control it?

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.

Before the 11th of September, in my discussions with many officials of the United States, some of them are Congressmen, I used to say that "don't deal with terrorists as playing games." It's a different story. You're going to pay the price if you're not wise in dealing with terrorists.

We're not in the area where the alleged chemical attack happened. I said alleged. We're not sure that anything happened.

It is difficult for anyone to tell you what is going to happen. [Middle East] is an area where everything is on the brink of explosion.
