Ferret Face getting nervous...?
The Alawites see the writing on the wall. Iran is a greater threat than is the US.
My opinion is that they saw all of the Democrats crying for engagement so they went ahead and said "Yes, please engage us - don't be a warmongering country." This doesn't mean they will drop their support for terrosists one iota, it is just a PR vistory for them as they can say they tried diplomacy, but the big bad US wouldn't budge. This is how the MSM will portray it even though the officials in Washington have secret goods on the Syrians with respect to their support of terrorists and their rat lines. F SYRIA
Probably not. They only talk as a form of deception. It will buy them and Iran time to complete their evil plans for Israel and the U.S.
