#1 Anti-Syrian firebrand? Nooooo, really? Ya don't say... How, um, familiar. Sorta goes hand in hand with this story on RB today and implies the Syrian regime, along with its puppet-masters over in Tehran, figures it has little left to lose. Obviously, subtlety is not the Syrian / MM strong suit - bombs are.

I'm thinking Mehlis is one smart cookie and retiring right about now is a very healthy choice.

I'm also thinking that Syria may not be very accommodating from here on out. And precisely what can the UN gonna do about it?

I'd offer popcorn, but it would have this MP's blood on it. Time for The Chinless Wonder & Co to go - down - hard - with extreme prejudice. Since they're supposedly on board with finding the truth here, anyone think the French will take care of it? Nah, me neither. Somehow I think we just might hit a green light at the next intersection. ;-)

#2 Murderous sons of bitches. I've got to say, my restraint-tank is being rapidly drained.

#4 One Tomahawk right into Baby Doc Assad's front door would probably send a clear message.

#5 From today's J'lem post
Lebanon has been rocked by a series of mysterious explosions targeting anti-Syrians in recent months.

Who said that the art of the understatement passed from the World?
