I look for Israel to attack Syria again very soon. Syria and Iran need to be dealt with. They have Saddam's weapons of mass destruction buried underground. These weapons are soon to be discovered. Iran and Syria will soon crumble beneath the pressure from the US and Israel. This is what I see for the future. The bathist party? Well its just about all over for them too. No the fat lady hasn't sang yet but, she is heading out onto the stage. GCJ

Thanks for the comments here and on another current events blog. I wonder at your source for info. You mention a t.v. byte, but I suspect you pay attention to other sites. any you'd recommend? I am always looking for new in-depth analysis sites outside mainstream media.
