Assad Quotations

The word 'democracy' and the name of Assad do not blend very well in much of Syria.

Unless there is meaningful change in Syria and an end to the crackdown, President Assad and those around him will find themselves isolated internationally and discredited within Syria.

If we topple [Bashar] Assad, the result will be ISIS will take over Syria, and it will worsen U.S. national security interests.

I think those who have wanted regime [of Bashar Assad] change have made a mistake.

I think [Bashar] Assad is a bad guy, a very bad guy, all right?
