That banner from Syria peddled by Weekly Standard

A Syrian comrade sent me this: "that banner is laughable. there's no way in hell any syrian would come up with that on their own both for content and the english.
not to be a self hating syrian, but you'll have a hard time finding even a small sign in english at damascus airport (not to mention places like souq el-hamidiyyeh, where tourists go) without mistakes.
and as for the hafez chant, they actually chanted it (plus adding bassel) at the demo they had here in dc few months ago."
