Syria's Knitting A Wool Cap

Our friends in Damascus are up to their old tricks again. These guys are not exactly subtle in their actions. Once again they are trying to pull the wool over Colin Powell's eyes by "closing" terrorist offices in Damascus.

This is rich. Closing a terrorist office. Is this evicting a corner grocery store? Maybe shutting down an illicit press? What are these organizations doing having offices in the first place?

Baby Bashar is operating in under a worldview where he thinks that half-measures and little white lies are good enough. Everyday it seems like he is doing something to show that he does not understanding the paradigm shift that has now occurred with the regime change in Iraq. Just because they are staying at the "Iraqi governmental retreat" in Syria doesn't mean that they are still in power.

But I think we're learning. They are knitting the wool cap, but Powell has essentially already pointed out that it has eyeholes.

Baby Bashar I don't think will have much more opportunity to grow into his job.
