Syria's Assad is stronger now, says Cameron

July 21, 2013 20:48

British Prime Minister David Cameron today acknowledged that the embattled Syrian president Bashar al-Assad has strengthened his position in recent months.

"I think he may be stronger than he was a few months ago, but I'd still describe the situation as a stalemate. And yes, you do have problems with part of the opposition that is extreme, that we should have nothing to do with," Cameron said. Cameron insisted he was still committed to helping the Syrian opposition but admitted its numbers included "a lot of bad guys".
