I just try to see it as it is as well as I can excluding any ideological coloring, especially my own.<br />"If Bashar were like the old man, this situation would not have come to the point it has" Truthfully, I don't know. There are so many things different now than then.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13642228725661059539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519488391496270073.post-19423640862431808592016-09-10T11:34:34.257-04:002016-09-10T11:34:34.257-04:00I agree James that the Mukhabarat will clean house...I agree James that the Mukhabarat will clean house when the opportunity arises. We may differ,however, on whether to support the Baath or not. <br /><br />As for Hafez, <br /><br />If Bashar were like the old man, this situation would not have come to the point it has. We can bet that he'll take heed of his dead father's example when the "rebellion" is crushed.<br /><br />Like my Syrian friend tells me:<br /><br />"When this is over, nobody gonna say shit."RRHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01110767228447006154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519488391496270073.post-46186891057284305682016-09-10T07:49:39.838-04:002016-09-10T07:49:39.838-04:00An addendum:

Also just how do they think the humanitarian aid is to be delivered? The aid delivery will be riddled with Assad's security people making notes. Aleppo is doomed, Assad will make an example of it the way his father did of Homs.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13642228725661059539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519488391496270073.post-45208046305281974822016-09-10T07:39:39.359-04:002016-09-10T07:39:39.359-04:00Very little mention of the Kurds or Turkey.

The waiting period may also be there to see if the US can get it's act together for a Mosul offensive ASAP.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13642228725661059539noreply@blogger.com
