Paul Wolfowitz: “I think it was a mistake not to let them know that when they were in effect being retired, that they would also be paid.”

Well, I think first of all, we'd be looking at a much worse situation today if we had Saddam Hussein in Iraq and Assad in Syria and the Iranian thugs in Iran.

I'm saying, talk to the opposition. Find out what they need. If the requests are reasonable, fill them.

I can't see anything good about a protracted stalemate.

The goal is to enable Syrians to fight for their country so that we aren't stuck with a problem later on.
