Speaking at his news conference at the White House, President Obama predicted the eventual downfall of the Assad regime in Syria.

President Obama: “We are going to continue to work on this project with other countries, and it is my belief that, ultimately, this dictator will fall, as dictators in the past have fallen. But the notion that the way to solve every one of these problems is to deploy our military, you know, that hasn’t been true in the past, and it won’t be true now.”
