Some of them are probably ISIS.

I will admit my lack of understanding of the complete situation in Syria. I have no idea whether this is good, bad, or a different level of bad.

The fall of the Assad regime is an end of an era in the Middle East, and it will have big news implications across the region.

Let’s start with the regime’s allies.

Iran will no longer have an extension of its sphere of influence into the Levant. It will not have land access to its important ally in Lebanon, Hezbollah.

The Assad regime which had presented itself as part of the axis of resistance, will also not be able to extend any support, even rhetorical, to Palestinian factions that allied themselves with that regime.

The implications in terms of security are also huge.

The fact that Damascus is now free of the Assad regime, without bloodshed, is very important, because it may signal that there is a path forward without bloodshed, without the country plunging into civil war.

I thought they would be in worse shape, both physically and emotionally, and wearing worse clothing, coming from such a terrible prison.

Except that the "rebels" who have taken over most of the country are extreme-radical Islamists, and supposedly worse than ISIS. So who knows what this may bring.

We have Marines in Syria with various factions all around them. I think it is time to get our Marines out of there.

Why do you say Marines, aren’t those Army bases?

It would take a lot to be worse than ISIS. An early indicator was that after the fall of Mosul in 2014 Isis columns would catch up with fleeing groups of Shiite militia, often outnumbering the ISIS units. The Shiites promptly surrendered. ISIS would immediately massacre their prisoners.

It remains to be seen what these characters do, but so far there are no reports along those lines.

Considering they were pals with McCain, it doesn’t provide me with a lot of comfort.

So many factions. Looking for the Ottomans and Medes to hassle it out for some land and other factions to kill each other until Damascus is a ruinous heap?

This is not going to end with anyone happy.
