WNU Editor: Too early to tell if the Syrian rebel movements are losing their fighting capacity as well as facing mass desertions. I suspect that we will only know by the end of this winter on how successful (or not) Russia's intervention in Syria has been.

He who fights and runs away gets to fight another day. The problem with a quick air victory is how do you sort out the the bad guys when they dress down to like all the regular people?

Bob,

That's where local human Intel, rather than satellite and ELINT comes into play. You pick them out in a line up.

To do that, you need trustworthy local allies, people who are not going to take advantage of the opportunity to get revenge on their neighbours.

The key issue is that the jihadi's are fleeing to Turkey and Jordan, where they become Turkey and Jordan's problem, as it's unlikely they will stop their trade once across the border.

I'm going to tell you what is happening in Syria and what is going to happen in Syria. I got it first hand.

The Army is going to re take every area those scumbags occupy. Then the Mukhabarat will go through them like s@@@ through a goose.

The Bashar reforms that were being implemented, and were taken advantage of to bring about this devilment, will now be rolled back. I qoute: "After this, nobody going to say a f@@@#$ word again. If they think they're safe where ever they are, they are wrong."

Miguel,

Stop using your Obamaphone to post on this blog forum.

You only get 250 free minutes and you're supposed to be using them to find employment. There are already plenty of paid terrorist propagandists. U.S. taxpayers certainly won't approve of funding your semi-literate tirades.

Maybe you should take up film making under the Saudi program.
