#1 Unless someone screws up royally, Baby Assad is safe thru Summer 2014 - by extension, so is Iran + its NucProgs.

At least from US attack per se, as opposed to Israeli which both Iran + Russia will expect the Bammer Admin to keep a leash on. IFF ISRAEL WANTS TO UNILATERALLY/ASYMETRICALLY DO SOMETHING, IT WILL HAVE TO DO SO VEE MOSSAD = COVERT OPS, NOT THE IDF.

As long as AL-Qaeda affiliates + Foreign groups wage Regional-Global Jihad in Syria, Assad + Iran are likely safe well beyond 2014.

* TOPIX > ASSAD: SYRIA ARMY ENGAGED IN "MOPPING UP" OPERATIONS AGZ FSA, REPEATS WARNING FOR FOREIGN MILITANTS TO LEAVE SYRIA OR FACE ATTACK.

* SAME > [Afghanistan = Mullah Omar]JIHAD WILL CONTINUE IFF US-AFGHAN DEAL SIGNED.

See Artic elsewhere on the Burg.

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > KSA "WOULD NOT WAIT A MINUTE" [to go Nukulaar] AFTER IRAN ACQUIRES A NUCLEAR WEAPON.

* SAME > VIDEO: ISIS MASSACRES MORE THAN 100 AL-MALIKI SOLDIERS IN ANBAR.

RELATED SAME > IRAN USES OWN "AL-QAEDA" [ISIS Group] TO WEAKEN OPPOSITION IN SYRIA.

* SAME > SYRIAN OPPOSITION BROADCASTER: NO SUCH THING AS FSA IN SYRIA ANYMORE, THEY'RE ALL ISLAMIST BRIGRADES.

* RELATED SAME > VIDEO: ISIL CALLS ON EAST EUROPEAN MUSLIMS, MILITANTS TO JOIN SYRIA FIGHT.

Der be mucho Fereners [Foreign fighters] in Syruuh, BY SOME MSM-NET REPORTS UP TO 130,000 NOW.

ALL INSIDE BATTLEFIELD SYRIA EXPOSED TO ASSAD-LED RUSSIAN, US-ALLIED? + NOW SHIA IRANIAN FIREPOWER.

IMO SecState Jaaawhn's real job is allaying Sunni Saudi fears + keeping the KSA as both US Ally + from exploding militarily agz rival Shia Iran via a MIDDLE EAST-WIDE "SUNNI AWAKENING/
SPRING" = SUNNI MILITARY, NUCLEAR? COUNTER-RESPONSE.

#2 From Ynet:

Report: US weighs letting Iran keep nuclear-enrichment facilities

As a possible solution to the standoff over Iran's nuclear program, the Obama administration is considering the possibility of allowing Tehran the right to maintain uranium-enrichment facilities on its soil, The Wall Street Journal reported.

#3 "US weighs letting Iran keep nuclear-enrichment facilities"

The U.S. may, but I'm betting Israel won't.
