That's according to George Sabra, the former communist who is now the leader of the old SNC, which is not to be confused with the new SNC, but is a part of the new SNC...
Anyway, George is making headlines today with his call for 60 billion in aid for the six month period after the fall of Assad, which he is pretty sure will be tomorrow or maybe the day after.
60 billion over six months might be a little steep for the Nations of Virtue. After all, half of them are courting financial collapse themselves.
According to the CIA World Factbook, $60B was Syria's GDP the year before the revolution started.
I know that commies are notoriously incompetent at budgeting and all that stuff, but how is such a number even conceivable?
I think George is figuring on a chicken in every pot every day and a Volvo in every garage to come up with 60 billion.
Maybe it's just his opening gambit. Maybe they'll settle for 60 millions instead of 60 billions.
Hell, this is all contingent on Assad going somewhere, which he doesn't seem to be in any great rush to do.
In fact, now that Assad is taking the lead in fighting al Qaeda, maybe we should keep him around for awhile... and save 60 billion bucks!
