This supercut of claims that Bashar al-Assad's 'days are numbered' spans years in two minutes

Natalie Furtig, video producer for McClatchyDC, has compiled clips of numerous members of the Obama administration declaring that “Assad’s days are numbered.” The timeline of the clips runs from 2012 to 2015 and features both faces we haven’t seen in a while and a certain presidential candidate in a cameo appearance.

Watch: U.S. Gov says Assad's "days are numbered" OVER AND OVER for years. #syria http://t.co/CVqHmqxBg1 pic.twitter.com/QwT7mONMbs
