The Endgame In Syria Is Nowhere In Sight -- Kenneth Bandler, FOX News
Wither Syria? Some observers interpreted UN-Arab League envoy Lakhdar Brahimi’s visit to Damascus and certain Russian statements as proof positive that the Syrian conflict will be resolved soon. It will not. Predicting that the endgame for Syria is imminent, it turns out, is wishful thinking.
The year 2013 promises to be as traumatic for the Syrian people as was 2012, when President Bashar al-Assad showed no hesitation in using whatever was available in his arsenal, including Scud missiles and cluster bombs, against the Syrian people.

My Comment: I disagree .... the end game is in sight .... but only after another year of war and an additional 100,000+ killed. The only thing that will change this prediction is if the Assad regime starts to use WMDs, or foreign powers intervene. As to what will happen to Syria after the regime has fallen .... that's another story.
