Damascus is seeing some pretty heavy fighting today.
Quick guess on how long until assad is dragged through the street?
I say within 20 days.

Do you reckon?
So you think the "rebels" have managed to effectively defeat the government forces despite not having any explicit source of funding or weapons? (this is a genuine question)

I think a lot of their forces must be defecting troops

There's a unconfirmed report that 200 soldiers have been injured in the last 48 hours in damascus alone.

They've been getting weapons through turkey (funded by saudis) for the last two months.
defectors take their guns as well. And there have been a few raids on small army bases and convoys.

turns out, the rebels are actually bears and lions

I think the world needs a bear/lion coalition run country

this does my head in a bit
since those are names of larp factions and the lions and bears rarely get on. Lions and Harts, maybe

just don't let the bears in charge

I think the first step is getting some bears and lions into positions of power
and help them break through the grass ceiling

Well, you were right last time, so I agree.

While it's got nothing to do with who is right or wrong really
I did like the news report this morning where the rebels complained the army had used tanks and heavy artillery on them.

Erm. It's a civil war. I'm pretty sure you aren't allowed to go "ok, we'll fight you, but you can't bring your best weapons or soldiers, cos that's NOT FAIR."

I think that, while they are annoyed at having tanks and heavy artillery thrown at them,
they're probably making the point that these are also being used against civilians.

I'l be honest Al
it was on the news at 7am and I was half asleep, you might be right

It just sounded like a playground football game "but you can't have Daz AND Trev, that's UNFAIR"
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Tue 17 Jul 2012, 13:13, Reply)

It probably was like that.
I was just using it to make a wider point.
