If Syrians wanted Assad out so bad they would of done it themselves
Cool. Tell your buddy to call for a general election.
There are elections next year and I'm sure the Syrians will decide the fate of Assad then. But they will most likely vote him in again because one thing he has done is stand up to most of the world to protect Syrias interests from imperialism. The Syrians respect that.. What have the opposition given them? A fraudulant leadership picked by the west and a bloodbath at the same time.

Tell your pal to stuff his suitcase full of money and head for Tehran. Out.

Most worryingly, according to The New York Times, the CIA is training Syrian fighters in Jordan. Buried in its story today about Secretary of State John Kerry’s announcement that the United States will increase aid to the rebels, including medical supplies and those always tasty MREs (“Meals Ready to Eat”), was this previously unreported nugget:
A covert program to train rebel fighters, which State Department officials here were not prepared to discuss, has also been under way. According to an official in Washington, who asked not to be identified, the CIA since last year has been training groups of Syrian rebels in Jordan.
The official did not provide details about the training or what difference it may have made on the battlefield, but said the CIA had not given weapons or ammunition to the rebels. An agency spokesman declined to comment.

Yes I'm sure that in 2014 the country will be in a state conducive to genuine and worthwhile elections. I hear that all Syrians love Assad so I reckon that he should get at least 108% of the votes like usual
