It puzzles me why he's being suckered now. <br /><br />Maybe his membership in the Tri-Lateral Commission is at stake.

The biggest I could find was the Sudbury Star. I may be wrong but I think the big Canadian papers like the Globe and Mail, The National Post, The Toronto Star, etc avoided this one.

I'm sure there are a lot of Syrian refugees who don't support Assad yet look at what befell Iraq and Libya when their dictators were toppled and dread, even more, the very real prospect of their Syrian homeland becoming another failed state tormented by a never-ending and brutal civil war.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-37237364371573901972015-12-06T07:08:11.446-08:002015-12-06T07:08:11.446-08:00@ Rumley.

This would seem to indicate that they are OK with Assad remaining in power. It is the war they ran from not the Government.rumleyfipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03346146988416679423noreply@blogger.com
