Exactly my opinion. I do not believe Hama will fall within a day or two of fighting. Nevertheless, this is the battle for the future of Syria. The outcome will most definitely determine the direction of this civil war. If the rebels succeed it means nothing less than the deconstruction of the Shia Crescent and the potential end of Russian presence in the Middle East.
We're at a turning point.
However, if the regime loses Hama within the next 24h, Assad and the Iranians are done for good. The entire regime will perish. They will not even exist in the core lands of the Alawite minority along the coast line.
