| [ALMASDARNEWS] The Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (ISIS) is on the verge of defeat in southern Syria after a string of losses to the Syrian Arab Army and their allies this week. According to a military source in Damascus, the Syrian Arab Army has tightened the siege on the Islamic State forces at the al-Safa Mountain, leaving them virtually nowhere to retreat. The source said that the Syrian Arab Army liberated the following areas, yesterday: Saad Hateel, Huwi Awad, Wadi Halaweh, Ghader al-Sous, Huwi Raseen, Tal Daras , and Khirbat Awad. Making matters worse for the terrorist group, the Islamic State is trapped on a large volcano, which has no resources to replenish their dwindling provisions. Don't they teach that in the first week of officers' school? "Never let your entire force be trapped in an extinct volcano without water?" ISIS lost their main water source on Tuesday, when the Syrian Arab Army liberated the Saad Hateel area. It is just a matter of time now before the Islamic State finally gives up the battle in east Sweida, as they continue to lose more territory each day. |

| #8 The Romans just built a ramp up to their fortress. A very large and long ramp... ...using Jewish slaves from captured and destroyed Jerusalem. Thus one sees that there is a natural order to these events, and President Assad, fil, has completely neglected the mass enslavement stage. |

| #5 The Romans just built a ramp up to their fortress. A very large and long ramp... Has the U.N.stuck their nose in and demanded negotiation and giving ISIS a good chunk of productive land yet? I'd be surprised if they hadn't. |

| #4 Mullah, look up Masada in Wikipedia. I've been there. It is high on a mesa, and even a ballista wouldn't reach from the base. That's why the Romans built a ramp. Of course, when they did reach the top, all but seven of the Jews had killed their families and then committed suicide. |

| #3 Of course, the Romans didn't have the luxury of air assault. They had Ballistas, a nifty little 'indirect fire' method. |

| #2 Didn't the ancient Jews do something like this at Masada? The Romans just built a ramp up to their fortress. Of course, the Romans didn't have the luxury of air assault. |

| #1 going without water until you die seems pretty appropriate to me. |
