“Methinks the brothers Assad better have their personal jet fueled, with pilot on 5 minute stand-by...”
My money’s on the Assad’s and here’s why.
Khofi Annan is the UN clown in charge of the mission. When he’s involved it never turns out well. He will fail miserably just like he did in Rwanda.
Egypt is getting ready to break out again. When it does, Syria becomes a sideshow.
And as a previous poster noted, the Russian’s are controlling our supply routes to Afghanistan. Will we jeopardize them in order to put an unknown entity in Syria into power?
But then again,who knows what the little prince in the White Hut will decree.
I do not think Russia will give up its base at Tartus. Not easily. And yet they will not fight for another muslim country I don't think.
And yet, I've watched videos on al Gezeera showing what appear to be, G-3 (CETME) almost NIB being carried by FSA. Must be coming from Turkey? And we pretty much know Turkey is training and "re-grouping" former Assad military people.
All of Assad's equipment will do him little good if he doesn't have the man power to operate it. And he doesn't have Mali Mercs like Qadaffi did.
I just do not want to see any US/Allied troops fighting in another Third World lash-up.
