SYRIAN REBELS  GAINS SHOULD NOT GO UNNOTICED!!!

Yesterday, I mentioned the significance of probable Surface to Air Weapons finally showing up in the hands of the rebels.

Today's stories of assaults near the International Airport in Damascus could signal changes in the conflict every bit as dramatic as SAM operations.

For months the rebels have realized how vital the international airport is to Assad and his regime.

His re-supply from Iran and Russia flow through that airfield and everyone knows it.

Denying Assad the ability to not only receive vital support through the airport, but the psychological damage of his supporters knowing the airfield is now too dangerous to utilize is a devastating event.

It is now wonder Assad's forces are mounting an all out assault on the forces in and around Damascus.

He simply cannot survive the physical or psychological loss of Damascus International Airport.

Here is the telling issue.

There is no way that airport was not heavily guarded.

If it was not the most protected site in Syria, it has to be one of the top three.

Assad and his family... his WMD... and the airport in Damascus.

A true assault to capture or damage the facility and not just harass it's operations is an ominous sign for Assad.

There is one true escape route for his supporters and that is the airport.

If that option is taken away or the perception it is about to go away, his most loyal backers, the Sunni business class, are probably about to leave.

If flights are disrupted and it sounds as if they are, then panic is setting in as I type this.

The interesting thing about conflict is the fact that defeat often comes suddenly.

It is not a given that this conflict will gradually swing the way of the resistance.

It is very likely that the collapse of the Syrian government could come suddenly and that is what really scares the UN and the rest of the region.

In the course of just two days, Assad has lost his air superiority and he may be losing his logistical and physiological "lifeline"... Damascus International.

Do not be surprised if one or two things are about to happen.

Assad could lash out at the rebels like he has not done so in the past.

Even more disturbingly... Assad's regime could collapse in  a state of panic.

I remember the fall of Saigon!

We could see such an event again...
