Rose said shortly after speaking with Assad that he seemed "remarkably calm and conversational" during the interview.

Rose added, "I think he made a commitment, perhaps because he's his father's son, that all he had to do was go all-out, that in order to save the regime, he had to go all-out. He took note of the fact war is ruthless and that in war, you have to do everything you can to survive."
