Syrian rebel takeover will have a ‘remarkable’ ripple effect equivalent to the Berlin Wall, GOP rep predicts
Fox News
Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., reacts to the monumental rebel takeover in Syria, which drove longtime dictator Bashar Assad to flee the Middle East.
"This is so significant. The fall of the Assad dictatorship. The ripple effect of this is just going to be remarkable," Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., said on "Fox Report" Sunday. "It's truly equivalent to the Berlin Wall, which led to a ripple effect of dozens of countries becoming free after 50 years of occupation and totalitarian control."

Bashar al-Assad fled Syria after rebels stormed the capital city of Damascus on Saturday. Assad, whose government used chemical weapons repeatedly on its residents, reportedly fled with his wife and children.
