In the eye of the observer
Israeli Military Intelligence believes Assad will fall in 2012, though it won’t commit to a date, and it is not clear whether Assad understands this himself.

Haaretz,
6 Jan. 2012,It was a slightly less routine week than usual in Syria. The protest against the regime continued, and last Friday a record number of people – several hundred thousand – took part in the demonstrations against Bashar Assad and his government. However, the presence of a few dozen Arab observers had the effect of somewhat reducing the level of violence by the security forces. The average number of those killed every day in Syria was halved – from 40-50 to 20-25 – after the observers’ arrival.
