Assad's forces defeated on roads north and south

President Bashar al-Assad’s military has suffered two more crushing blows as it crumbles on both fronts in the long Syrian war - against Islamic State jihadists and other rebel groups.

[dfwgator]

..and now....the end is near.....

[dp0622]

This is getting serious folks. It looks like Assad could fall. I was hoping for a much longer drawn out battle between shia and sunni.
any opinions on what happens next? does Iran send in massive troops? does ISIS take the whole country? is it split into pieces?

[PhiloBedo]

Iran is the regional power player. They’ll move into Syria and have a staging area for attacking Israel. And Barry couldn’t be happier.

[TexasFreeper2009]

um... Assad... there is this new fangled thing called a PLANE!!!
you might want to check into it!

WTF!!!

How can a bunch of idiots who can’t even whip their asses properly beating a modern military?

[dp0622]

wouldn’t they have to defeat ISIS first? I’m surprised they didn’t help more before now. i heard they’re sending mostly mercenaries. that might soon change. they might start sending regulars over there.
i thought sunnis were like 85 percent of muslims. how is a shia country getting so powerful? meaning Iran.

[gaijin]

Syria will become friggin’ Cambodia.

Anyone who thinks simply getting rid of Assad will make it a good place is crazy.

End of the beginning, but not much more.

[dp0622]

i read that our new psycho in chief was going to implement a no fly zone in parts of Syria. looks like that wont be necessary now.
but youre right. how the heck does an army with an air force lose to one without an air force?

[Bogey78O]

ISIS couldn’t have won without the support of Obama.

“...any opinions on what happens next? does Iran send in massive troops? does ISIS take the whole country? is it split into pieces?”
****************************************************************************************************
Mass murders,

uncounted rapes,

Christian and other religious minority women & children taken and sold into sexual slavery,

vast numbers of refugees...enabling the exponential strengthening of the Camp of the Saints situation in Europe and providing the raw resources for the Obama regime’s desire to increase the mass immigration of Muslims into America and their dispersal throughout the nation,

Celebration “mission accomplished” parties by the likes of Lindsey Grahamnesty, Juan McCain, Obama operatives and their Muslim Brotherhood compadres,

etc., etc., etc.

And those are just the less horrific things.

[vladimir998]

“how the heck does an army with an air force lose to one without an air force?”

Simple: the Syrians have lost planes, pilots, airfields, have too few planes, spare parts and pilots. They also are fighting an enemy which is so low level, and so rarely masses troops, that it is hard to harm from the air. Remember, we have an air force too, and we’re not really hurting ISIS that much either - and our air capabilities vastly outpace those of Syria.

According to this, Western-backed Rebels took the strategic base: http://www.sfgate.com/world/article/Western-backed-rebels-seize-sprawling-army-base-6317096.php

Poor leadership.

Nothing good will come of this. While his regime is relatively mild compared to his father Hafaz who instructed the military cannons on Homs in 1982 to eradicate the Muslim Brotherhood, (30-40,000 killed), there is no “better” alternative. Witness Libya, Iraq, Algeria, etc—have those nations produced anything stable after their downfall? The problem is the religion. Islam is a false religion based on one man, a false “prophet” who's only intent was to eradicate the Jews and “wrote” a false “holy” book called the Koran. There will never be a solution in the Middle East. Should Assad fall, who will replace him? Another tyrant who rules based on a false religion, a false premise. Nothing will change, only more of the same. There is your answer.

[BeadCounter]

And the Syrians probably don’t have good aerial bombs, that is why it is said Barrel Bombs have been used in Syria and Iraq.

[BeadCounter]

Maybe, seems there was the Drudge headline of months ago about a Pan-Arabic army.

Egyptians, Jordanians, Saudis and others go in.

I honestly don’t think i can be friends anymore with someone who voted for the Kenyan. maybe acquaintances, or forced politeness at jobs, but that’s about it.
he is a complete and utter disgrace and a traitor

[allendale]

Obama has devoutly wished the departure of Assad. Now his wish is about to come true. But what will be the outcome? Soon the jihadist factions will fight to control Damascus. Those regime supporters who couldn’t flee will suffer immensely. Which jihadist faction will dominate? ISIS? al Queda? The moderate “rebels”? (who are so dear to McCain and are probably imaginary.) Will Turkey “intervene” and in effect solidify ISIS? Does Obama have a secret plan in a red lined envelope about to be opened?

[SaveFerris]

Sounds like it.
