BEIRUT (AP) — The Syrian government appeared to have fallen early Sunday in a stunning end to the 50-year rule of the Assad family after a lightning rebel offensive.
The head of a Syrian opposition war monitor said President Bashar Assad had left the country for an undisclosed location, fleeing ahead of insurgents who said they had entered Damascus after a remarkably swift advance across the country.
Syrian Prime Minister Mohammed Ghazi Jalali said the government was ready to “extend its hand” to the opposition and hand over its functions to a transitional government.
We complained a lot about Obama arming Syrian Rebels, myself very much included, but it’s kind of hard to argue with results I guess.
I just hope, with very little faith, that the replacement regime isn’t even worse.
The replacement regime is almost always worse, or just as bad but in different ways. And then it too falls.
