BATTLE FOR DAMASCUS - Operation Epic - Day 2. Assad's Counter-attack has begun

Syria's army has launched a fierce assault around Damascus, blasting rebel strongholds and sealing the main entrances to the capital, witnesses said, as prospects for peace talks dimmed.

Shattering months of relative calm in the capital, Wednesday's offensive coincided with two suicide car bombings that killed almost 20 members of the security forces in the ancient city of Palmyra, a watchdog reported.

Doorbert, what about IAF jet over Lebanon, military zone in Haifa airport, Assad: Hezbollah counter attack on Israel ?
Things calm down? Or not at all?

Been watching this shit for two years! It's been a Passion Play about the life of Mohammad and all the ways Muslims treat each other like brothers! Stabbing. Burning. Beheading. Bombing! Fantastic way for people to learn what Islam stands for! Really Peaceful Religion! Go Putin!

Just heard they are installing advanced radars in Haifa.

Searching now on other intel.

The prophet Muhammad, praised be his name, will ensure the fidels topple the infidel Assad regime.

Goodnight Doorbert :-)

Is it true the rebels are killing non muslims and after taking Damascus will push for tel Aviv ???

Christians aren't a big fan of Assad either.

Fierce clashes between regime and FSA forces reported in Qaboun and on the Southern Bypass Road (Mutahaleq al-Janoubi).

Anyone with a basic knowledge of Damascus's geography would recognize the importance of the Southern Bypass Road to both regime and FSA.

FSA Rebels Advance on Assad Checkpoint in Hamadiya

Damascus suburbs, the shelling of Zabadani has resumed.

Burnt bodies from another massacre

Can this be over already?? The waiting for it all to finally end is painful! We know it's just going to keep getting worse. I want off this fricking merry go 'round.

Hey dumb asses.

This is the situation

Assad the dictator (who inherited power not earned it legit) - Totally fucked .... Kills anybody who does not agree with him & Rebels

Rebels - Totally fucked .... Kills Christians and Assad loyalists

Assad and all the rebel factions are fucked .... all of them

This is why the US, Russia and Turkey etc etc have not intervened. They just covertly assist a side in the hope it resolves itself.

If there is a viable alternative all sides would be in on it just to settle it.

The fact is there is no "Good" alternative to hand the power over to. None whatsoever.

Assad had one last chance to unite his country and that is to start a war with Israel using the Golan Heights as the catalyst.

Sad but true facts

no way...it will gain pace given this >
Iran's supreme leader rejects proposals for direct nuclear talks with the US - @AP

I think that at least SOME ..or even ONE !! of the posters from previous days acusing Doorbert "fabricated false news"..regarding Damascus assault by rebels will now come back and offer some sort of appologies > only then would be a sign of fairness/sanity ..for THEM !
Doorbert,do carry on pls. regardless...
