ASSAD SEEKS ASYLUM IN Cuba, Ecuador or Venezuela
[link to www.eluniversal.com]

If he does this he can bet on being assassinated

Syrian President Bashar al Assad is pondering on asylum for him, his relatives and close friends and followers in Cuba, Ecuador or Venezuela, in the event of ultimately leaving Damascus, Israeli daily newspaper Haaretz reported on Wednesday.

Last week, Syrian Minister of Foreign Affairs Faisal al Miqdad held meetings in all of the three Latin American countries and brought classified letters from Al Assad to each of the presidents.

The Venezuelan Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed daily newspaper El Universal that Al Miqdad handed over a letter for Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, received by him before heading for Cuba last Wednesday for his cancer treatment.

A Venezuelan government spokesman told Haaretz that Al Assad's notice referred to the "personal relationship between the two presidents" and that the visit of the Vice-Minister showed the close bilateral ties.

South America at least got rid of the death squads that the School of Americas trained, no doubt how they did it has aso been forwarded to many Mid-East countries.

Re: ASSAD SEEKS ASYLUM IN Cuba, Ecuador or Venezuela
it isn't said anywhere that the letters are about seeking asylum

It could well be a goodbye/goodluck letter with some intel on what is his plan and what he expects from his friend as some kind of revenge or anything else

Assad said he'd die in Syria rather than leaving his country fall

Take it from someone that works in security: SouthAmerica is not good to seek asylum if you are a public figure, doesn´t matter how rich you are. People will be queueing to sell you off.

Has many friends ... Some Western and Arab countries have previously offered embattled Syrian President Assad to seek asylum and protection for his family if he leaves power.

Maybe he feels Iran is not the safest bet right now?

Don't know as much about it as I should, but many countries of SA have been fighting against imperialist forces/foreign exploitation for some time now. One of my favorite quotes from Correa (president of Ecuador) runs along the lines of "We will allow US bases in Ecuador, when the US allows Ecuador to have bases in Miami" (from his interview on Assange's 'The World Tomorrow'.

Not saying whether I support any of these political strategies, but I think it's interesting to try and follow allegiances.

This story from Haaretz is
Another attempt, and a
Very transparent one, to
Influence the opinion of the
Sleeping masses so
That they will
Open up to the idea of a
Concerted assault on Syria and the
Killing of Assad.

People has the wrong idea that here in south america is a lawless state of things and that if you are rich you can buy anything. That is totally wrong.
What happens here is that you have on one hand huge narco underground networks (mafia as such doesn´t exist here, but for some small communities like the chinese) and in the other a totally corrupted political power (police included), all of which are after milking you dry.
If you arrive here rich you stand up as a target, after everybody milks you out dry, they will sell you to the highest bidder.

I think wherever he goes leaving his country.....is asking to be murdered. But like sub said....he is probably dead either way.

This is no offense against South America....

I seriously doubt it.
If Assad sought asylum it would be Russia

The three countries the article listed have absolutely no reason to protect him

Russia however, could use him at a later date if the "revolution" collapses and return him to power.
