Yes, I am leaning in that point of view. And as others have said, a weakened Assad would probably be the best outcome. Much like Gaddafi years ago under Reagan.

The beauty here would be a prolonged civil war. I think that Reagan and Bush II believed that as long as they are fighting themselves, we are a safer world for it. But Syria is not Iraq vs Iran and Syria is not geographically like Iraq, so am sure it would be difficult to sustain.

I have listened to and read Bibi's thoughts since 1980. If he says something publicly, I would probably think thats the answer we are looking for.

But Mittens is going to have to make a statement on the issue after the Olympics if he is going to be taken seriously.

Yea, Bibi has been spot-on in describing the entire situation out there. I remember 20 years ago him saying that the Palestinians were being taught, from Day 1, in their schools that Jews were pigs and that they must be slaughtered.

It was EXPLICITLY stated and agreed to in those “peace deals” that that garbage would stop. It didn’t, at all. And when President Clinton, and then Bush demanded that Israel give up land for peace, their words regarding this issue were silent.
