Victory
Perhaps it's not Bashar al-Assad who is detached from reality but Obama and Hague. Intervention looks extremely unlikely.

Reacting angrily to President Bashar al-Assad's
speech on Sunday calling for an end to the rebellion,
the US state department said the
Syrian leader was "detached from reality". But much the same might be
said of the US and of Assad's other western and Arab foes, and with greater
justification. After two years of bloody attrition, the unpalatable truth is
Assad is still in power, shows no sign of heeding demands to quit and is far
from beaten. The evolving reality is that Assad may yet see off his many enemies
and claim victory in Syria's civil war.
