Asharq Al-Awsat says Moscow has pulled military experts from Assad's war room in Damascus, evacuated non-essential personnel and stopped declaring there is no alternative to Assad.
Russia is pulling away from its relationship with embattled Syrian President Bashar Assad and withdrawing key personnel from Damascus, the London-based Arabic newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat reported Sunday, citing senior Gulf and Western officials.
"The Kremlin has begun to turn away from the regime," the newspaper said.
The report also quoted Syrian opposition sources as saying that Hezbollah and Iranian military experts have left Assad’s war room in Damascus, along with Russian experts.

It looks like the Paladin of Christianity, as his fan club seems to think of him anyway, is turning away from Assad.

Assad is dead as we speak. The problem is: If Assad loses, who wins?
What does Syria then become?

There’s an old saying here in the US. Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.
