Why else is good ol' Bashar in such a hurry to get rid of his most powerful deterrent and leverage? Could be he knows that after he "turns them ALL in". He can use them, but what if he knows that the Obama administration got backed into a corner by Kerry and Obama being rather dumb.

Do not construe this as me saying the Republicans would do an even remotely better job. John McCain is a stooge who should be voted out of office. Mitt Romney might have been "see which way the wind blows" enough to gauge the opposition to action, but who knows?
We'll see...
