Interesting stuff about Syria

If you've been wondering about whether Syria will actually pull out of Lebanon, or how the pro-Syrian rally managed to gather up to 500,000 people (I thought maybe by using death threats), wonder no more. Gail, at Crossing the Rubicon is on it. Here, you'll learn that many in the know are skeptical about the likelihood that Syria will withdraw; and this post will tell you that many of the protestors at the pro-Syrian rally were shipped in from, yes, Syria. UPDATE: Over at Right Wing News, you can also get some healthy skepticism about the huge pro-Syrian turnout.
