Video: Is Civil War The Only Way To Push Assad Out Of Power?

Civil war is a possibility the media is beginning to offer in response to continued reports of divisions within the Syrian army--some of the soldiers refusing orders to shoot on unarmed protesters, while some of those same soldiers finding themselves shot at for disobeying orders:




CBS is also reporting more accounts of a Syrian crackdown on protesters, but some of those accounts remain unverified:

CBS News correspondent Elizabeth Palmer reports that, where there's no video of the crackdown - in Syria's north - there is other evidence in the form of a tide of refugees fleeing to safe haven in Turkey.

Mustafa Daas told CBS News he was at a protest yesterday - just 20 miles across the border - in Jisr al-Shougour, where soldiers and police opened fire on protesters almost right away.

Considering the lack of real support from the US--and the failure to push Gaddafi out of power--a civil war may be the only way for Syrians to get rid of the Assad regime

And that will mean a lot more bloodshed than has been seen till now.
