Syrian troops also targeted turbans in Binnish in Idlib, killing and injuring scores of them, and destroying their weaponry and ammunition.

The Syrian army units also conducted successful operations in Mugher al-Mir, al-Darkhabiyeh, and Khan al-Shih in the countryside of the capital Damascus, killing many of the Takfiri

#1 Militants

I wonder if the Romans calle Attila and friends militants? Did the Russe or the Han call Ghengis Kahn & co. militants?

The ISIL and all those groups should be called Barbarian invaders at the very least.

#2 Anyone else rooting for Asaad's army these days?

I am completely conflicted on this BUT right now, Assad, Bibi, and Sisi may be the only adults in the room.

Because our die hard liberals won't fight for anything, including keeping their heads attached to their necks, someone has to take the fight to them in a serious and overpowering way.

If the empty suit thinks he can throw gratuitous and meaningless drone strikes and pinprick airstrikes until the Iraqi government gets its act together, he has confirmed his pacifism, in its current form the Sunnis, Shias and Kurds can't agree to the color of the flowers on the table much less power sharing.

#3 Bill C, I understand where you're coming from as I'm in the same place.

We shouldn't complain too much about the garbage man as long as he is taking out the garbage and not dumping it in the yard.

#4 I am 100% behind Assad in this situation. Sure it's a nice scenario when Hezbollah Iran and Syria lock horns with Al-Nusra, ISIS, Al Qaeda and Europeon fanatics. But in the end and in the interest of world order Assad and yes Iran seem to be a much more reasonable adversary than fanatics. The enemy you know I guess is the catch phrase.
