A Syrian tip from Robert Fisk

The United Nations has finally admitted its impotence in the affairs of Syria by withdrawing its military observers so information about what is actually happening in that country's civil war will now be even less. Perhaps the closest we outsiders can get to a form guide is the view of that veteran reporter on the Middle East Robert Fisk.
In The Independent on Sunday this morning Fisk writes:

That view seems to make sense and encourages me to again back the dictator - in this case that Bashar-Al-Assad will still be president of Syria at the end of the year.

Invested $54.30 for a potential win of $45.70.
