Syria, which has 14,000 troops in Lebanon, has come under increasing pressure as a result of demonstrations following the assassination last month of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri.
"It (withdrawal) should be very soon and maybe in the next few months. Not after that," Assad said an interview conducted on Monday and published by Time magazine on its Web site on Tuesday.
"I could not say we could do it in two months because I have not had the meeting with the army people. They may say it will take six months," he added.
Dare I say it? Domino theory... And we haven't even talked about Egypt yet...
It will be interesting to see how Iran reacts to all this pro-democracy talk... Syria isn't looking quite like the ally Iran was looking for...if they can't keep Lebanon, how is Syria supposed to intimidate the United States?
