Assad: US military forces in Syria are 'invaders'

[spanone]

(CNN)Syria's President Bashar al-Assad scoffed and questioned US actions in Syria, calling American troops deploying to the country "invaders" because he hadn't given permission for them to enter the country and saying there's been no "concrete action" from the Trump administration toward ISIS.

"Any foreign troops coming to Syria without our invitation or consultation or permission, they are invaders, whether they are American, Turkish, or any other one," Assad said.

"And we don't think this is going to help. What are they going to do? To fight ISIS? The Americans lost nearly every war. They lost in Iraq, they had to withdraw at the end. Even in Somalia, let alone Vietnam in the past and Afghanistan, your neighboring country. They didn't succeed anywhere they sent troops, they only create a mess; they are very good in creating problems and destroying, but they are very bad in finding solutions."

The Syrian leader made the comments in an interview with Chinese media outlet Phoenix TV. It was published on Syria's state-news agency SANA on Saturday.

2. he's lighting fuses....

[Wounded Bear]

3. There's like 5 or 6 different factions in Syria...

Hard to know who's on whose side.

No way we should have any organized military in that mess. Black ops? OK, I can live with that, that's what they do. But a military unit? How do they know who to shoot at?

[malaise]

4. He is correct

Same with Iraq

[no_hypocrisy]

5. He forgot to include ISIS.
