I wonder how many of these guys they amazingly capture in the next few weeks to try and get the pressure off?

There is a super-star professor (Drezner) at my school who has recently been speaking about Syria. Their stronghold on Lebanon and their support for Hizbullah are considered its last 2 gems. He is predicting once there is a pullout that there will be a major shift for the region and its government.
