Syria is primed and ready to fall. The clock is ticking on Assad and his brutal regime and it’s now in the 11th hour.
If Assad is lucky, he’ll be killed outright either by rebel troops in a gun battle or by the sort of bomb attack which took out 3 of his top thugs yesterday.
If he’s lucky.
A little less luck would have him meet the same fate as Saddam…at the end of a rope after being tried for crimes against his own people.
Or…He go out as did Qaddafi…captured, beaten and shot in the street like the cur that he is.
Assad’s one and only chance would be to leave on his own and flee to a friendly Iran but even that comes with risks. What are the chances he can escape alive? Slim. What are the chances that, given the opportunity, even Iran would want him?
Again…Slim.
Iran already has Ahmadenijad and that raises the question…Is Iran big enough for 2 rabid dogs?
Yes but it comes with conditions. Iran could well accept Assad IF Assad brings his weapons of mass death along with him.
Anyway you look at it…Assad is near death from naturally occurring unnatural causes.
What then of his civil war torn nation? What becomes of Syria itself?
Last week, from an AP wire story, we had this:
the enemies of our allies.
