Bashar Al Assad: “We have a direct interest in a stable Iraq. They talk about unified Iraq. We have direct interest in a unified Iraq.”

The president promised us reforms. God willing, they will come soon. I mean, these reforms are for the citizens, and they have been well received.

He's also using the same -- literally, the same false rhetoric that was used by Mubarak, that's been used by Gadhafi, blaming satellite news channels, blaming foreigners, blaming unnamed conspiracies.

The opposition as terrorists, saying they're the enemies of the people, the enemies of God.

We don't kill our people. Nobody kill -- no government in the world kill its people, unless it's led by a crazy person.
