6. Assad did not want the monitors in at all, and they have to be out by Jan 19th.

In some instances, Assad has been using the monitors to continue killing - and he has not adhered to a single item he said he would.

Thus, there is little point in having them there. Funny, that in 10 months of uprising the only "bombings" happened when the monitors were in the country.
