For a year and a half, America has had a vague and confusing policy with regard to Syria and the uprising there against the Assad regime. The fighting which has spread to the capital of Damascus culminated the other day with a major bombing attack by the rebels against the regime. Members of the inner circle of the Assad regime were killed including Defense Minister Dawoud Rajha and Gen. Assef Shawkat, 62, the deputy defense minister who is married to Assad's elder sister, Bushra.
When he heard the details of the bombing, president Obama brightened and realized that he finally could have a coherent policy towards Syria. Obama has decided that everything that has gone wrong in Syria is the fault of Bushra.
