ASSAD

Listening to Charlie Rose interview Syria's Assad, who, by the way,  sounded like an American politician, I thought, "Charlie Rose is no Mike Wallace." Wallace could cut to the "quick." But, I'll have to say, "Charlie did pretty good." 

All along, I've thought, "where do we expect Assad to go?" Here is reality: Assad has nowhere to go and where do we go? If we can put our  maxed out stupidity aside, plain and simple, the players have changed, as well as the stakes. As my dad would say, "anybody with one eye and half sense," would get this. The enemy is ISIS. It is in our interest, if we are going to do anything, to align ourselves with Assad. Wake up and smell the roses.
