Report: Assad Says Syria Has 'Emerged Victorious'
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
President Bashar Assad has proclaimed that "Syria has emerged victorious" in the fight against rebels trying to topple his regime, according to comments published Tuesday in the Lebanese al-Akhbar newspaper.
"The conspiracy against Syria is nearing its end," al-Akhbar said, citing unnamed politicians who met with Assad in the Syrian capital.
The opposition to his regime is "playing a game of survival,” the newspaper cited Assad as telling his Arab nationalist visitors.
"Significant successes have been made, whose strategic importance is clear even to those in the region and the rest of the world who are making useless plans against Syria's security," he added.
The politicians described Assad as "very comfortable" with military developments in Syria and had raised "contradictions in the exiled opposition groups' stance... as proof of their failure.”
Assad's regime has frequently referred to the revolt that broke out in Syria in March 2011 as a foreign-backed plot against the country.

Delusional,asaad tic tic tic, bla bla bla, been hearing it for over 2 years now, Syrian President is going no where, get used to it, the war will stop once west lowers the bar of demands to a realistic level, the last opposition demand came via a turkish offer was a lowering of the bar, but not low enough,it was for Assad to stay in Syria but step down as president til next elections, Assad never replied. So maybe another 10000 dead before they come back to bargin again.

If by victory he means killing 60,000 of his own people, I certainly wouldn't want to be on the losing side.
