"... A lack of ammunition re-supply and exhaustion seem the most likely problems for the FSA.
IMO the government will proceed to clear one district after another. In Damascus they then went house to house looking for their adversaries.
If they follow traditional patterns in a kesselschlacht like this, they will either make a tight cordon around the city to try to intercept fighters leaving the city or leave a corridor through which the enemy can run a "gauntlet of fire" trying to escape. This latter course of action is always tricky since the enemy may escape in large numbers if the corridor is too wide. the US Army learned that lesson in 1944 when the Falaise Pocket was insufficiently closed off. pl"

Good riddance to the FSA in Salahedin
Fadi Salem, who is from Aleppo but is now director of governance and innovation at Dubai School of Government, bids good riddance to the Free Syrian Army in Salahedin.
Salem, who claims to be in regular contact with the city, said the rebels were not supported in the town unlike other areas of Syria, like Baba Amr in Homs.
He used his Twitter account to suggest the rebels have wrecked promising signs of emerging civic society in the city.They have also imposed "mass suffering" on the the city's population, he said.
