US State Department: Assad’s Latest Remarks are Delusions

State Department spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki described Assad’s remarks as “delusions” after the interview with the Foreign Affairs magazine, stressing that these “delusions that Assad presents here only reaffirm our – reinforce our firm belief that he no – he long ago lost all legitimacy and must go. There can never be a stable, inclusive Syria under his leadership.” She also said that “our position [on Assad] hasn’t changed. Some of it, I think, is an over-reading into one comment the Secretary made that is an inaccurate reading of what the United States position is.” (Source: Syrian Coalition + Agencies)
