Seventy-one Syrian army officers defect to Turkey



 'Seventy-one officers, including six generals, have defected from the Syrian army to Turkey, a Turkish official said on Saturday, the biggest single mass desertion of senior soldiers from President Bashar al-Assad's security forces in months.'

 Assad can't win. The longer the conflict is allowed to drag on, the more Syrians he will kill before he falls.
