The army is starting to break and divide. This will be the end of the regime. There are no terrorists now, but they will label the new "free Syrian army" as such, but it won't matter. ASSad is finished.
Once the big cracks start......the decline of ASSad will be quick.

They call all those people extremists, terrorists and armed groups.
If this is true then the Army that as they claim is doing his job would have wiped them out by their very well experience in Lebanon for 30 yrs where they destroyed every city to the ground before they planned to enter it.
So since March 15th until now, and the world is watching day after day people are getting killed, those are proven not armed groups because the city or village where they came from would have been destroyed. The fact of the matter is this is called the people revolt against the terrorist regime which Bashar is not going to be able to stop, otherwise he would have done long time ago just like they did it in Lebanon (Divide and Conquer, destroy and enter)

Have the pathetic idiots in Qatar and Saudi Arabia and Lebanon's Al Mustaqbal al Mehtereh run out of more pathetic useless fabrications and all that they have left are fabricated stories published in their toiletpapers that even the Sunni crazies themselves no longer believe? And 27 killed? Why nort say 28 for example? Or 32? Or 17? So sad!!! Go play bel 4.
