Analysis / Syria walking a tightrope
If the Lebanese in Martyrs' Square in Beirut expected to hear anything new from Syria's Bashar Assad during his address on the relocation of Syrian troops to the Bekaa Valley, they were mistaken. With blatant disregard for the Lebanese protesters, Assad made it clear that his forces will remain on Lebanese soil.

Analysis / Syria is losing control
When Lebanese Prime Minister Omar Karame asked to resign last weekend, the Syrians made clear to their man in Beirut that his quitting would harm them just when Damascus was under mounting Lebanese and international pressure. Karame didn't hand in his resignation. Not then, in any case.
