DEBKAfile reveals: Retired General Ali Duba, known as father of Syrian intelligence and loyal aide of Presidents Assad father and son has fled to London from Damascus
January 3, 2006, 10:04 PM (GMT+02:00)
This defection follows the blunt charges leveled against Bashar Assad by former Syrian vice president Khalam Haddam last Friday, and the UN inquiry commissionâs demand that the Syrian president make himself available for questioning in the Hariri assassination.

Old baby Assad must be thinking real hard on were the hell in the world will take him in, short Iran who's time is a comin. I wonder if he is going to cut a deal for his own skin or if he is going to try to hang on for the coup.

I dont know how this is going to play out but one thing is for sure I got one of those econo packs of popcorn just for this.
