#1 Assad's doubletalk does not work any more. There have been a steady procession of US officials to Damascus, including a US president, I believe, since the Clinton administration.

Now is the time to act, Assad. You can withdraw your troops before the end of the year. I know you can do it! Otherwise, the screws will keep tightening, gahhrohnteed.

#2 It's a small country and "home" is right next door. What's keeping them from leaving this week? Have to dig up those Saddam-era WMDs?

#4 In other news, Assad has agreed preemptively to have himself pulled out of a small hole in the ground and checked for head lice.

#5 Looks like he's been on this morning's Dictator Self Preservation Society's conference call with Fidel, Hugo and Kimmie and they filled him in on the plan...

#7 Actually, he is right. The US started Democracy in Afganistan and Iraq has spread to Lebanon. The Syrian troops will be taking the seeds of it back to Syria as information. No matter how repressive a government, the news will leak out to the people that they don't have to take Ass-wipe's crap anymore and can stage their own protests and revolts. All we gotta do is sit back and let the democracy spread like wildfire. Maybe add a couple of logs to the fire here and there.... ;)
