Precious: What's Good For The Goose Is Good For The Gander

Assad tells O'Bama: quit arming the rebels, or no deal.

And Vladimir has Assad's back. I think President O'Bama might get support from the French, as long as it's just a pinprick. I can't make this stuff up. [That was a pretty good line from President O'Bama: the US military doesn't do pinpricks.]

My hunch is this: Syria will soon end up on the president's "to do" list somewhere between the Keystone XL pipeline and another Parisian vacation with Michelle. He's a "did that, done that" sort of guy.
