Syria will restrain Hezbollah & Hamas..and help find solutions for the US standoff with Iran

Moubayed in AsiaTimes, here
"...Syria was worried at Obama's strong support for Israel - although it came as no surprise - during his visit to Tel Aviv some months ago. They have not forgotten the overwhelming support Arabs showed for George W Bush in 2000, ......The Syrians are willing to cooperate with Obama on a variety of issues, prime on the list being Iraq. In the words of Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Mouallem, Syria will help secure an "honorable exit" for the US from Iraq. Damascus was very close to suspending diplomatic relations with Baghdad after Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki failed to prevent the October strike on Syria - which was launched from Iraqi territory - but did not do so, to keep channels open with the Obama administration and to better deliver security in Iraq...."

They will also hand over the secrets of alchemy, the cure for cancer and how to make great hoummos.

Actually they are more likely able to do the above than actually have a great influence on what al hizib and hamas do.
