I disagree, Assad has pritty much lost his rule, the question remaining is who will be his succesor.
He will certainly not be able to regain the rest of the country and even if he regains half, people in possitions of power will start questioning his capability to keep the country stable.
It is easyly possible that Assad is not even responsible for this recent attack and that his generals have started to act on their own behalf.
