I wonder if there are any westerners or other outsiders in Palmyra thinking it was safe and are now possible targets for I.S torture\video.

I hope not.

With recent advances it was looking like IS might go into cascade failure and spread to the wind merging with al nusra, etc. but this months updates looks like they've largely reconfigured for defensive operations and been reinforced somewhat from somewhere. Even with Aleppo falling it looks far from over.

I'm kind of surprised TBH it looks like they are falling back to defendable lines (not just in reaction to being pushed back) and maybe making a stand - upto this point it hasn't really been their tactics to become entrench in a hard confrontation.

Obviously Aleppo is more about other groups than IS but looks like Aleppo could be insignificant compared to what is to come.
 
Nobody seems to want to tackle the root cause of the problem....

THE SAUDIS.... jesus.

If Saudia Arabia was wiped off the map, half of these well funded terror groups would cease to exist, but no, we cuddle up to the Saudi cavemen for what? The "oil" I guess...lol

Bring on fusion, and watch Saudia Arabia turn back into sand!

George Osborne has told MPs that they share some responsibility for the terrible events happening in Syria.

The ex-chancellor said the unfolding tragedy in Aleppo had not "come out of a vacuum" but was due to "a vacuum of Western and British leadership".

Who does Gideon think he's kidding? There's no side we could have supported in the Syrian Civil War. All an intervention would have achieved is more £billions wasted, hundreds of dead British troops, and probably a bunch of unsavoury warlords in power. I'm still of the opinion that we are better off staying out of it. All that has changed over the last few days is that there are now two sides in the Syrian civil war that I don't want to win whereas before there were three sides I didn't want to win.

Aww, look at the resident dictators, championing the wiping out of countries and whole peoples.

Yes, death to everyone I disagree with. Just like the Nazis did and isil do now.

I think we'll see Trump do something about them. Right now I expect some pretty senior Saudi officials are a tad nervous, especially since they bankrolled Hillary's campaign and still failed lol
