I've Been Thinking:
The Senate Intelligence Committee held a hearing yesterday. Syria and Iran were on the agenda.
David Petraeus, head of the CIA, explained to the senators that Israel and the United States see the threat of Iran differently.
From his testimony it became clear that Tamir Pardo, chief of Israel's Mossad, had been in Washington DC on Thursday.
This little bit of information made my jaw drop. The travel plans of the Mossad head are never supposed to be common knowledge.
The Committee also heard that there seems to be no real compromise position in Syria and that Iran sees the Assad regime as an asset. The senators were told that the loss of Syria as an Iranian asset would be a great loss to the Iranians.
What the United States does not seem to understand is that:
#1: Assad will not leave on his own
#2: the locals do not have the wherewithal to oust Assad.
They people of Syria need help, our help, help from the West. Iran is helping Assad stay in power.
