No Way but Only One Way Out

Democracy’s Burning Ships

…

While not historically accurate, one of the best examples of a strategic commitment is provided by the legend of Hernán Cortés, according to which, in his quest to conquer Mexico, he decided to burn the ships that had brought his expedition from Spain. At first, this might seem like a crazy move: Why intentionally destroy the only possible way out in case of defeat? Cortes allegedly did it to motivate his troops. With no escape route, soldiers were highly motivated to win. Alexander the Great is said to have done something similar when conquering Persia.

Knowing Aleppo FSA commander said few months back, FSA in at the Aleppo there is no strategy of retreat. It is very sad that they are so much motivate  but US barged these heaven weaponry anti-tank and stringer missile etc…  Qatar and Saudi willing supplies these if US OK with it, to be frank, because of this Al Quad bit, they will worst for sure! What option they have! At the glance they are counting bullets from the boxes, a FSA personal said, pointing a Koran (in their bullet box), god will give their bullets….  They using home made take way bombs… I think decisively     break this stalemate, properly arm the FSA if they do,  they really can make a  break a huge break…
