Dat kan wel zijn, maar IS doet pas een jaar mee in Syrië, ondertussen bezit het 40% van het land en de belangrijkste resources.

Islamic State thwarts Syrian government forces on two fronts
Citaat:
Syrian government troops failed on two fronts Monday to reverse gains by fighters loyal to the Islamic State, a sign that the insurgents who’ve captured half of Iraq are capable of battling Syria’s government as well.
Anti-government activists said 14 government troops were killed in battles for two villages outside the east Syrian city of Deir el Zour. The Syrian army fared no better in an attempt to recapture the Shaer gas field near in the ancient city of Palmyra, losing six soldiers and failing to dislodge the Islamic State fighters.
Meanwhile, in the Homs Desert, six regime soldiers were killed Monday morning when the Syrian army made its third unsuccessful attempt to take back the Shaer gas field, which the Islamic State seized last week,killing more than 200 soldiers.
