　　it's not going to be one day which has a decisive changing of the flags over buildings in Damascus and then the whole country turns 180 degrees in terms with government.

　　As the rebels increasingly make more military gains, the question is beginning to be asked, will Assad stay on fight to the end, as he has said or will he go?

　　随着反对派越来越让更多的军事胜利,阿萨德将会按照他承诺的继续奋战到底还是离去这样的问题也开始逐渐浮出水面。
