Assad is backed into a corner. Will he try to "do something" in or to the States on his way out the door?

Maybe there should be a Glen Beck moment and millions show up in DC to tell Zero to step down.

Yeah....like any leader of the any country is going to listen to Obama? He has no standing in the world. 60 years ago, the Syrian leader would be shaking in his boots because American Presidents meant what they said.

Next to follow - rule by the Islamic Brotherhood.

Are we really sure we want to be fomenting fundamentalist revolution and setting up these people all over the Middle East?

Assad is a figurehead...he'd been living in London all is life until his father died...then the powers behind he throne made him return to take over ( probably by threatening to kill most of his family and relatives in Syria) He's a puppet of the few hundred who run the country..they needed the "Assad" name for continuity..

Since obama and Hilalry have invested so much i Egypt and Syria, maybe they'll call for the rebirth of the UAR

“Assad is backed into a corner.”

What corner would that be?
I didn’t hear any “or else” behind the ‘time to step down’ statement.
