I think Hillary Clinton is a good and effective secretary of state.

In principle... no government in the world can accept an armed terrorist group, some of them coming from abroad, controlling streets and villages in the name of 'jihad'.

Syria is ready to cooperate and coordinate all efforts, whether regional or international, to combat terrorism

If a close ally of Iran like Syria went to Iran and said, 'This peace is in our interest,' what do you think would they do? I can tell you they have never opposed any of our peace moves since 1991.

It's very strange that you condemn me as a terrorist at the same time as you call on me to help you combat terrorism in Iraq and elsewhere. It doesn't make sense!

Laying siege to enemy-controlled cities allows attacking armies to keep their own casualties low by avoiding urban combat.
