I think this is Assad's "Khaddaffi-moment". They probably showed him a picture of Saddam, when they captured him in his spider hole and a picture of Khaddaffi, and asked him to pick which fate he prefers, and better pick very soon, or we'll pick for him, in which case he better start digging his own spider hole.

Is it just me or does anyone else get the feeling that after the election is over Syria and Iran are in for some big rumbles. Syria by the U.S. and Iran by Israel with back up from the U.S. Time to change that part of the world. Iran needs Nukes for Electricity and power but they are testing missiles they claim can reach Great Briton. Syria is just a pain in the ass and need to be humbled. IMHO
