A co-worker of mine has a daughter in Syria. She is over there as a Fulbright scholar. The State Department last week announced that all Fulbright scholars are to leave Syria by November 6 and didn’t say why.
This makes me uncomfortable. I can’t help but wonder is some military event is going to take place. Stay tuned.
Not to point out the obvious but this was the warning issued by the State Department last April.
