Slowly but surely Bush is squeezing Assad on the battlefield and in halls of diplomacy.
Assad has got 2 more years max.
Two years.... More like the cold spell called the winter season over here in the Middle East. The key to peace in the Middle East is to remove opposition to Israel. First, Syria, then Iran, which in turn puts both France and Russia out of major trade/political ties - this is the answer. Iraq is just a stepping stone to getting the Arabs to accept Israel and quit walking down that path which leds to nuked cities in their end.
