Mafia-Style
Fascinating stuff: Tony of
Across the Bay, with a brief assist from Josh Landis,
seems to think that Bashar Assad has total (or near-total) control of the goings-on in Syria, that it would be nearly
impossible for him not to have known about Rafiq Hariri's assassination beforehand, and that Bashar is a "mediocre strategist" interested only in maintaining "wealth and status" for his cronies. Tony's been building this case for days and it sure
looks convincing, though obviously I'm not in any position to dispute it.
