Good morning.
"I've believed for quite some time that the best way to put real pressure on Iran is to take their pawns in Syria out.

Syria has always been the logical target. It is smack dab in the middle of the region and stirs more feces than any other country but Iran.

Syria is more vulnerable to conquest than Iran and it's fall would further isolate Iran while making the mad mullah's hold on power more tenuous.

Iran's feared nuclear capability is only to be feared when it actually exists and we, and Israel, will not allow that to happen.

Killing Assad and destroying Syrian Intelligence would make peace in the region possible.

We might even deal with the Saudis while we are at it.

Why kill Assad when the Saudi Ambassador can show up after the Golani Brigade line up on the frontier to the Southwest, First Marine Division and First Cavalry line up in Anbar to his east, and the two carrier battle groups are lined up in the Med?

All he needs do is kick out the Iranians, every last one of them, and he gets back the Golan. In return, he gets to be President for life. No permanent vacation in Palm Springs under an assumed name. His only sacrifice is to abandon Nasrallah and the Persians. In return, he gets what his father never did: the Golan and a paper treaty with Israel that has a Demilitarized Zone.

I smell something like that in the works when I see a statement come out of the WH that talks about the future internal structure of Syria. Real late night at Chez Boy President tonight.

BTW, my Senator, Bill Nelson, was in Damascus meeting w/ the Opthamologist today. Don't get too down on Bill. He's actually a good Democratic Senator who made a necessary stop.

Be Seeing You,

Chris
