I would not be surprised to see Syria break apart entirely.

At some point, there is going to be a terrorist diaspora out of Syria like we've never seen before.

There is little doubt that an unstable Syria will destabilize the whole Middle East.

Syria is attracting a lot more Westerners than the Iraq War ever did because it's the perfect Sunni jihad.

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.

Damascus is the center of world terror. All these organizations, Jihad and Hamas, their headquarters are in Damascus. Syria supports Hezbollah.

I know something quite sure. We'll never have peace with this Syrian regime. They'll never give us relief, and we'll never forget that.

For many foreign fighters, the jihad in Iraq and Syria is a commuter war.

I think Syria is in a particularly sensitive geopolitical position in terms of the politics of the Middle East.

There is no one leader that's going to unify all of Syria that suddenly everyone is going to go, 'Yes, that's a logical place.' They're not unified. They don't have a setup succession like we do in the United States.
