I sure am glad we kept things from
escalating into a wider war in the middle east aren't you?
You wont/cant stop Gods will.
You know what the difference between an optimist and a pessimist is?
The pessimist has more information.
You know what the difference between an optimist and a pessimist is?
The optimist thinks the future is uncertain.
Revelation 17:8-11
8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
VS 17 says:
For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
"Opposition forces have captured the city of Hama in central Syria, the latest victory for the rebels since they launched a lightning offensive eight days ago and a major blow to President Bashar al-Assad."
"The Syrian army said opposition forces entered Hama on Thursday after intense fighting, prompting its units to withdraw from the city."
“In just over a week, they have managed to take full control of Syria’s second-largest city, Aleppo, and now the fourth-largest city,” Serdar said, reporting from the Turkish city of Kilis, on the border with Syria."
"The opposition also took over the city’s military airport, Serdar said, “one of the largest in Syria” that has been used by government forces to launch strikes against rebels."
"Why is Hama significant?
Robert Geist Pinfold, from Durham University, said if the opposition manages to “hold Hama”, it would have both symbolic and strategic significance."
“Hama is the birthplace of Sunni, armed, Islamist resistance against the Baath party … of Bashar al-Assad and his father,” Pinfold told Al Jazeera."
"The capture of Hama would also “open up the road to Homs, it would open up the road to Damascus,” he said. Homs is the main central city and functions as a crossroads connecting Syria’s most populous regions."
(Thats why I said what I said last night.)
"Prior to Thursday, Hama had stayed in government hands throughout the war, which erupted in 2011 as a rebellion against al-Assad."
“But I think it’s going to be very hard for the Russians and the Syrians to be able and regain momentum immediately, because now that the opposition is gaining control of Hama, they’re going to be launching a major offensive on Homs,” Ramani told Al Jazeera."
(Yup. We might see Damascus fall before the end of the week at this pace.)
“If Homs is taken, Damascus is under serious threat.”
(Might as well consider it done at this point.)
