Assad's forces evacuated a ton of civilians, and chose not to fight among the monuments, that ISIS has vowed to destroy. If the Yaquidi didn't evacuate, it's going to be another ISIS SLAUGHTER...

The JV is on the run.
Pretty good for a JV Team.
This is going to be awful. I am sure ISIS is preparing to video the destruction of the columns and other monuments.
AFP has an article up now:
IS in almost full control of Syria’s Palmyra: monitor
“”IS controls almost all of Palmyra” following the withdrawal of government troops from all sectors except for a prison in the east and military intelligence headquarters in the west, said Rami Abdel Rahman of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.”

well all the historic sites will be smashed to crumbs....
Changing tagline.
What the h*ll is Bathhouse Barry doing about this? Concentrating on climate change as the most serious problem we face.
Well, that looks like someplace I won’t be able to ever visit.
ISIS is so satanic it can’t even allow history to exist.
The Muslims in the White House are pleased.
Dont forget all of Barrry Soetoro’s green cards for our resident illegals!
"I love it when a plan comes together!"
"Yeah, but it was my plan!"
"No, you idiots. It vas MY plan!!!"
Lead Thugger Obama and his libs must be so very happy.
ISIS is poised to simply supplant the Bashar al-Assad regime in Damascus and use the locality as the new seat of the Caliphate.
This does not bode well for any future prospects for peace in the Middle East.
All this “steady progress” the Current Regime now squatting in the White Hut claims to have achieved, is going to cost the world dearly.
Makes you wish for the good old days of Saddam Hussein.
This is a wonderful opportunity to test the neutron bomb!
