[h=1]Syrian army says it has regained control over most of eastern Ghouta[/h]
The Syrian army command said on Saturday it had regained most of the towns and villages in eastern Ghouta and was pressing its military operations in the last rebel bastion of Douma.
In a televised statement, the Syrian army spokesman said the weeks-long military campaign had now brought security to the Syrian capital, Damascus, and also secured its main links to other parts of the country, stretching north and all the way to the Iraqi border to the east.
A last group of fighters and families had earlier left the main towns of Jobar, Zamalka, Arbeen and Ain Tarma. Footage on state television showed top army commanders entering by the same route the rebel convoys had used to leave.
[COMMENT]
Once the rebel forces have been rendered ineffectual and Mr. al-Assad has regained control over Syria, Mr. Trump is going to have a very difficult decision to make - does he invade Syria and face the forces of Syria, Russia, and Iran (and possibly Turkey and Iraq as well), or does he declare victory and go home.
I'd bet 10 Cyberbucks on "Make Assad Great Again".
