NEWS AND PROPAGANDA:
Start to laugh your heads off with this hilarious article article about Mosul. The “opposition is so desperate”:

This is worth a look since it mentions our experience in Syria with the NDF and the fact that the “opposition” propaganda has become unctuous at best:

a car bomb in homs today. the rebels still appear to have a presence ? though such things make the people hate the terrorists more. they are their own worst enemies
Maybe I can answer you one question: yes, it’s possibile that a safe area can register attacks. The terrorists are very numerous ( I suspect they out-number almost 1:2, all the military and non-military government personnel including police or shabbiha with para-military training). It’s even possibile that they could sneak one day and pop-up in South Latakia from Lebanon with a massive invasion force. Obviously they couldn’t gain much than a couple of villages using only brute force but they couldn’t “hold” them for long because of the lack of support from the population
Kjel, I looked few times and haven’t seen any mention to Al Safira which is way back in SAA lines, there is though a firce fight in Al Aziza, which is not far from Al Safira.
I never forget about Nigeria, Somalia, Iraq, Libya, Ukraine, not the unemployed people in Spain who sleep in their parent’s kitchen after foreclosure.
I hear that our Aussie boys may be on their way to help Assad.
