File under: Govt of Syria

#1 As consistent wid ....

* WAFF > [Free Syrian Army Commander] SYRIAN REBEL LEADER MUSTAFA-AL-SHEIKH SAYS VICTORY AGZ ASSAD NOT IN SIGHT. Free Syrian Army has many divisions among its ranks + is seriously under-funded.

and

* TOPIX > ASSAD FORCES CLAIM VICTORY IN ALEPPO FIGHT.

On a separate note, I don't see Iran giving up on ally Baby Assad unless the Rebs are willing to still allow the Iranian Navy to have a presence in the country. Iff Turkey = PM Erdogan is actually sympathetic to the cause of Syria's Kurds, then the Rebel struggle agz Baby Assad may only be the beginning of a much larger, more dangerous Regional crisis vee anti-Kurd Iraq + Iran???

* WAFF > TURKISH ATTACK ON SYRIA'S NORTHERN KURDS[? see above] COULD PROMPT WIDER WAR. Iff Turkey follows through wid threat, it could be pulled into a conflict wid Assad regime = SYRIA, RUSSIA, + IRAN.
