The Iranian/NK axis is starting to look like a looser even to the insane.
Bullshiite.
I don't think he has any way to hedge his bets. Consider...
His idea of a goo deal with the US would be for us to (1) try to pressure Israel into giving up the Golan, (2) leave him alone in Damascus, (3) help him put the clamps on Hezbollah to dampen Iranian influence in Lebanon, (4) pressure the Lebanese to accept continuing Syrian influence, and (5) give him lots of financing. In return, he might allow CIA and SF into western Syria to interdict the flow of Qaida into Iraq. But he has little to no influence over the Sunni Iraqis, and he ain't letting us into the Bekaa to see what he's been hiding there.
So that's my opinion of what he wants. We all think the Dems are stupid, but do any of us really think they are stupid enough to give in on even half of that in return for ineffectual help in Iraq? Everything he wants is stuff we aren't going to give him. He's just playing us.
