If nothing changes, how will we ever know? Boi Assad may have been given a title, but he never controlled his dad’s henchmen. Actually, the reverse was true.

Maybe, these military midgets think if they toss Boi out then, maybe, Bush and the US military poised to enter Syria through the Iraq border won’t come?

Ah, and the report says that Boi just happens to be in Aleppo. Assessing the situation. Sure. RIIGHT. Yup.

And, what’s a dissident in Syria? Someone who disagreed with Boi isn’t a dissident. He’s probably an old henchman, as I said, of the dad’s. And, they’re all quite reluctant to give up power. It’s not that they have many career choices from which to choose. Even if the AP hands them a menu with two headlines. They’re both the same.

Too bad Syria doesn’t have Baghdad Bob to get out the news. When dominoes fall, who knew they were heavy cement blocks?

I think Idi sleeps with the 77 virgins in Paradise.

He’ll have to hide from his military. He could join Idi Amin (in Saudi Arabia?); He’s stringy enough, Amin probably won’t try to cook him.

Oh, no, not THIS: Revolution-by-rumor: “Damascus lipping” (the mask is slipping). Somebody shoot me. Revolution, sure, but I’m revolting.

Ugh, this is almost punographic:

“Damascus falling off” (da man behind damascus “out of town”)?

Ah, I actually meant that I’m ok with him changing careers as long as he “cleans out his office” first. The reason I suggested a military base was that his life would likely be in danger if he did so.

Very punny Mr. Dish….except you made a mistake there. Didn’t you mean :

“…he could leave WITH a very nasty parting shot on his way to a career in hell.”

Poor Bashar will get up close and personal with the d’etat in coup d’etat if he goes down.

It’s time for “Revolution by rumor”?

If Bashar were deposed, he could leave a very nasty (to them) parting shot on his way to a career in opthamology (on a military base somewhere).

The very fact that this even has to be checked out so carefully speaks volumes.
