U.S. Envisions Indefinite Syrian War

WASHINGTON [MENL] -- The U.S. intelligence community, in wake of what
officials acknowledged was a mistaken assessment, has envisioned an
indefinite Sunni revolt in Syria.
Officials said the intelligence community has determined that Syrian
President Bashar Assad was gaining the upper hand in the 27-month revolt.
But they said the community did not envision the collapse of the revolt amid
aid from Arab allies, particularly Saudi Arabia.
