Bush is an obstacle in securing peace in Middle East

While we are after peace, Israel is after war,

The Israeli factor was suspiciously present in all the events witnessed by the region, and the developments proved that Israel was the most prominent and the major benefactor from these events,

not to allow Lebanon to be a passage for conspiracy against Syria.

I have declared that Syria is innocent of this crime, and I am ready to follow up action to bring to trial any Syrian who could be proved by concrete evidence to have had connection with this crime,

This (assassination) is against our principles and my principles, and I would never do such a thing in my life, ... What do we achieve? I think what happened targeted Syria.
