"...As I expected the Syrian government is systematically sealing off the city of Aleppo as it brings up reinforcements. If this is in preparation for an eventual assault to clear the rebel held parts of the town, then that is probably a winning method. The rebels are running short of ammunition and food. High rebel casualties will be a major benefit for the government. There are a lot of Sunni young people arriving to join the FSA but they will be a hindrance rather than an asset in the short term until they can be trained.
None of this means that the Assad government will last forever, but the odds are improving that it will be around for a number of years. pl"

Is he not the sme Col. Lang who not so long ago told us Assad had a few weeks, or that the Syrian army was a prehistoric soviet relic. No wonder the USA lost in Vietnam if they had men like him.
