Sometimes you may kill tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands with very primitive armaments.

You cannot be desperate when the army is making advances. That should have happened - if we take into consideration that this presumption is correct and this is reality - you use it when you're in a desperate situation.

But the issue has to do with land, which is our land.

This war [in Syria] is going to support Al-Qaeda and the same people that killed Americans in the 11th of September. The second thing that we want to tell Congress, that they should ask and that what we expect them to ask this administration about the evidence that they have regarding the chemical story and allegations that they presented.

There is no good war.

You cannot talk about winning the war as long as there's killing and destruction on daily basis.

When you talk about cooperation, it means cooperation between two legal governments, not cooperation between foreign government and any faction within Syria.
