Na5?? What then? White plays Qxh6 and the walls come tumbling down! Better than Rxe2 might be Bg4xe2?
Bxe2 if white plays Rfe1 then d3! We have a supported passed pawn. With the Bishop in front of it will be unstoppable! Whites pieces will be tied down by the pawn. All of his pawns are blocking him in.
The only decent looking possibilty for white to me appears to be Bxc6, but after Qxc6 what has white gained? he lost his good light squared bishop, and his king's placement isn't looking quite as secure. Looking at these lines I see no way for white to gain any type of edge.
