The Syrian army's advance in Aleppo slowed on Thursday but a victory was still firmly in sight after President Bashar al-Assad vowed that retaking the nation's second city would change the course of the six-year civil war in his favor.
Lightning gains in recent days in which government forces and their allies recaptured Aleppo's historic Old City lost some momentum in the face of stiff rebel resistance but the Syrian leadership was confident.
Assad has long sought to seize divided Aleppo which would put him in control of Syria's major cities, the south, central spine and western flank bordering the Mediterranean, dealing a devastating blow to rebels who have fought to unseat him.

funny how distant political issues are closely related to local events.
When the soviet union collapsed, civil wars, rebellions and chaos around the world from Namibia, to El Salvador to Peru ended
Hillary Clinton lost, and Obama is leaving power - and suddenly, the 5 year civil war in Syria seems to be nearing a resolution.
There's still propaganda.
Good points.
McCain, Graham and Rubio mourn for their jihadi friends.
A few more barrel bombs dropped out of helicopters on Allepo’s civilian centers should do the trick, and then the asshole war criminal socialist dictator who funneled AQ terrorists into Iraq to kill our servicemen can finally send in his Hezbollah ground troops to finish off the good guys.
Simple solutions for simple minds.
Sometimes you’ve got to go through the human shields to get the bad guys. Our government did it at Waco.
And still the democratically elected and duly recognized government of all Syria. Face facts, the blame for all the death and destruction belongs squarely with the organizers, financiers , encouragers and suppliers of “The Arab Spring”. Without which this faux civil war would not have happened. And to our shame we know who that is.
The same can be said about Libya in spades. Not to mention what almost happened in Egypt.
Bashar al-Assad is the last of our Pan-Arab Socialist dictator enemies, and his head needs to be on a pike, or his ass hauled into the Hague to stand trial for war crimes.
“Arab Spring” was brought to you by the Muslim Brotherhood's spun off terrorist military enforcement arm, Al Qaeda, ...
Whom also brought you
9/11 with Saudi funding.
Interestingly, the Syrian government, under the Assads, killed more Muslim Brotherhood scum than any other single state.
Laughingly, "Arab Spring Democracy" is, in reality, Muslim Terrorist Mob Rule, and you are welcome to it, enjoy, but don't lose your head over it.
Your info is actually making my head spin. Congratulations, It takes a lot to Twilight Zone the sh_t out of me.
You forgot to put a /sarc on it.
Saudi Arabia, our ally since 1935, had no motive or reason to attack their best friends in the world on 9-11, and they probably lost billions of dollars on that day too.
Saddam Hussein, who had been warring on the United States and killing Americans since 1987, and whose praises you’re sure to sing next, did it to us.
