AP ^ Pssst.....hey Barry heres another one over here. You dont need no stinking Consitution...just do your thing. While your dittering, the syrians are murdering their own people. No sense in waiting for that 3 a.m. call from the UN....just do it.

There is a good chance that Syria will come apart. The ruling family in Syria are from a small minority group; the Alewites.

Talked on the phone yesterday with two Jordanian friends who work in another middle east country. Jordan is also having serious demonstrations.

It's entirely Bush and Israel's fault, but Barry will put on his cape and fly over there "Here he comes to save the day; Mighty Mouth is on the way."

No...Israel is a zero factor on the unrest in the Middle East, and they have also had zero influence on US foreign policy.

Israel is not a factor in Syria or Jordan. THe strife is internal....if it continues unabated, we will see both countries change leadership...and probably not to our own benefit.
