Storm does go offshore. Good afternoon, this is al Jazeera America. Im jonathan betz. Syrias deputy Prime Minister has told the world air strikes are not enough to defeat isil if there is no cooperation with his countrys army. He spoke at the United Nations today and called russias air strikes in syria effective because they support the countrys efforts to fight what he calls terrorism. Translator you know better than anyone else that terrorism is an ideology that recognizes no boundaries. You know that when this monster comes out, it cannot be limited to certain countries. The terrorism of isis, aln alnuz alnusra and other organizations is killing. What else did he have to say . That syria is a land baptized in the blood of its people. This is the world view of the assad regime, not the world view of the syrian people. He doesnt talk about the secret police or take any responsibility for the assad regime. He does talk about the fate of syria is in syrias hands and the hands of syrians
