Government changes

There is a rumour going round sourced to the US based opposition party, the Reform Party of Syria. They are saying that there is about to be a cabinet reshuffle because the President is annoyed with the Foreign Minister and the Ambassador to Washington because the US has renewed sanctions. The rumour has to be pretty baseless as Syria is on a roll with regard to rapprochment with the US - things are going as well as can be expected and the whole world is keen to see Syria back in the fold.
