From the Fiscal Times. It looks like Assad is winning in Syria--the writer says Assad is making "momentous gains." This is a setback for Obama's policy and with his relationship with Putin souring over the Ukraine, Washington has been left without influence in the crisis.
Taken together, Assad’s victory, his continued slaughter of those who oppose him, his repeated human rights violations, his failure to live up to the terms of the deal, and his undermining of the peace talks amount to a stunning defeat of American diplomacy. Nearly 50,000 people have died since the United States confirmed the use of chemical weapons last summer, bringing the total number of casualties to more than 140,000.
