#2 "Will". Funny, hearing a dictator use that word. I could get behind "gig" or "scam" or other similar term to describe what gangsters do, but "will"?

Nah, when the heat reaches Baby Assad, he'll bail. They never fight to the death, they either get caught and strung up from a lampost, go into hiding - which rapidly devolves from safehouses to a spider hole, or make a run for it and, if they make it, set up some phony "exile" thingy and live off what they were able to steal while the gig was good, giving interviews to moron socialist rags.

"Will" has nothing to do with it, Babe. When the spotlight gets turned on you, you'll be toast, asstard. Read: very bright, very hot, certainly final.

#6 "Syria Says US Pressure Won't Break Its Will." Their soldiers, Marines, tanks, Bradleys, Strykers, Apaches, Cobras, Strike Eagles, Falcons, Super Hornets, Nighthawks and Predators . . . well, that's another story.

#7 I see a nice cosy optometry practice somewhere in the south of France (Lyons perhaps?) somewhere in Assadâs near future. Maybe he could go back to school and learn to do that laser eye surgery thing.

Well, ok, that or three 9mm slugs in the back of the head. One or the other.

#8 Assad is an ophthalmologist, trained in London, not an optometrist.
