Bashar Assad: â€˜America will face serious failure in case of attack on Syriaâ€™

To him, the issue of military intervention in Syria has been repeatedly brought to the agenda: ‘The U.S., France and

UK wanted military intervention from the very beginning of the crisis, but their desire failed and the process changed its direction’.

The U.S. Defense Secretary has said the military is prepared to take action against Syria, if President Barack Obama decides to take such action. But earlier, he declared that Barack Obama was against of military invention without the UN’s mandate. However, he noted that the US did not expect that Assad regime would collaborate with the international community, and therefore America tried to overthrow the Syrian leader.

“It is now crystal clear to everybody that what is happening in Syria is not a popular revolution pushing for political reform, but targeted terrorism aimed at destroying the Syrian state. What it has been confronted with in every war since Vietnam… failure. America has waged many wars, but has never been able to achieve its political objectives from any of them. It will also not be able to convince the American people of the benefits of this war, nor will it be able to convince the people in this region of their policies and plans,” Assad said.
