I cannot believe that a recent map of Syria’s current partition between IsIS and the Kurds also included the Gollan Heights, as if Israel was part of this current mayhem or it was not a legitimate gain.
Here’s my satirical scenario on how this will play out. Assad will end up with control of just a portion of Syria, with there being a territory between the new Syria and the Golan Heights. Then the new ruler of this territory which adjoins the Golan Heights will claim historical rights to the Golan Heights, and the United Nations, and the liberals will support that claim.
Obama owns what Syria has become. But you’re too narrow in your assessment. Obama and Hillary own it.
Yes, that’s going to be the least of anyone’s worries once Assad falls.
