Bashar Assad said that if the cameras zoomed out they find that few protestors. Between 150k and 200k responded today.

Pro-Syrian groups, including Hezbullah, intend to hold rallies Tuesday. For those accutely aware of the possible tension and risk of violence, it is worrisome. I would like to think that those opposed to Syria's occupation will remain away and avoid any possible conflict, though I'm not entirely confident of that. And then there is the chance that few supporters of Syria will show up.

Saturday Assad disappointed Lebanon's newly confident populace, and today along with Lebanon's President he announced details of Syria's pullback. Not a withdrawal plan but the pullback of Syria troops to the Bekaa valley. Perhaps a nice place to dig up some stored weapons. Both agreed that at a later date they would announce plans for a complete withdrawal.
